Great afternoon of cooking and conversation!
We just had a terrific evening with Chef Scott and his team, learning about everything from local recipes and their secret ingredients (ginger ale!) to knife skills and cooking tips. The setting was beautiful, the hospitality was outstanding, and the instruction was lively. Not to mention that we got to meet several resident rescue pups! Truly a great experience not to be missed if you enjoy great cooking and conversation.

Costa Rica Culinary Adventure!
Our private cooking class with Chef Scott Alan at Costa Rica Cooking was one of the absolute highlights of our trip to La Fortuna! From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with Scott's amazing hospitality, quick wit, and wonderful sense of humor. He made the entire experience fun, relaxed, and incredibly engaging. It's obvious he's not only a talented chef but also a genuinely big-hearted person—learning that he also operates a local dog rescue made us appreciate him even more.

Unforgettable Experience!!
My boyfriend booked a private class and it was so much better than I could have imagined! We started off making our own mojitos and later they brought us pineapple mojitos and those were OUTSTANDING!

I’ve done other cooking classes that were not as hands on as this one. Loved that we got to try maki...read more

Costa Rica Cooking - Pura Vida!
During my 11 day stay in Costa Rica, I visited Playa del Coco, Monteverde, then finally La Fortuna. I did zip lines, nature walks, butterfly tours, snorkeling, volcano hikes, hot springs, then finally the cooking class.
The cooking class was the most enjoyable event of those 11 days, and that is saying a lot, because I enjoyed my entire stay in Costa Rica. The people were lovely and kind, and I never felt like I was treated as a tourist.
Very much by accident I learned about the cooking class...read more

What a blast!
On our first full day in Costa Rica, we attended this cooking class and we had such a good time!! The first order of business was to concoct our first coktail under the supervision of Chef Scott Bradley which set the mood for the rest of the class. The next four hours went by in a flash as we prepared two appetizers, two main courses and a dessert with locally grown or sourced ingredients. The atmosphere was relaxed, friendly and many entertaining anecdotes were shared. Chef Scott provided tips ...read more
