Experience Details

Learn how to make a typical Yucatecan dish from scratch by joining our European-trained chef Luis. Dishes like sopa de lima (chicken soup with lime), pollo o cochinita pibil (possibly the most well-known dish in Yucatan), Yucatecan tamales, empanadas de chaya con queso de bola (pastries flecked with a local green, chaya, stuffed with Edam cheese), are some examples of dishes that could be on your menu. Homey desserts like arroz con leche. As you learn about Yucatecan culinary and cultural legacy, savor the delectable feast you assisted in preparing. The culinary class should last slightly over 3-hours, after which you will have your meal. After your genuine culinary adventure, you'll have made new friends, learned new recipes, and created memories that will last a lifetime.
