What You’ll Experience

Cook carimañolas — Colombia's crispy fried yuca fritters — in a hands-on class inside a real Bogotá family home. Discover the African-Colombian roots of this iconic street food and the regional cooking secrets of Colombia's Caribbean coast. Your host Andres studied at Colombia's top culinary university and cooks alongside Doña, the family matriarch who has been making carimañolas for decades. The class unfolds in 5 hands-on steps: 1. Select the Cassava — learn to identify fresh yuca by texture and freshness, the first secret to great carimañolas. 2. Craft the Filling — Colombian spices and aromatics from the Caribbean coast, made from scratch. 3. Fry Your Carimañolas — shape, stuff, and fry until golden. Crispy outside, molten inside. 4. Learn the Secrets — discover the African culinary heritage behind this iconic Colombian dish. 5. Taste & Celebrate — enjoy carimañolas, Pastel de Yuca, Colombian Guacamole, and fresh Lulo juice together. Vegan-friendly options available upon request. Maximum 5 guests.
