Experience Details

What makes this experience unique is that it goes beyond a typical cooking class. Guests will begin by visiting a local market to select fresh ingredients, gaining insight into everyday life and food culture in Guatemala. Together, we’ll prepare a complete traditional meal—from Chiles Rellenos to Jocón and the beloved dessert Molletes—while learning the stories, traditions, and techniques behind each dish.


This is a hands-on, small-group experience hosted in a home kitchen, offering an authentic opportunity to connect with Guatemalan culture, cuisine, and hospitality. By the end of the class, guests will not only enjoy a delicious homemade meal but also leave with recipes, new skills, and a deeper appreciation for Guatemala’s culinary heritage.

Sample Menu

MAIN
Jocón
This traditional chicken stew is prepared with a vibrant green sauce made from tomatillos, cilantro, and fresh herbs.
DESSERT
Molletes
Traditional dessert with colonial roots. Made with soft bread, a sweet filling, and soaked in a fragrant syrup of panela and spices

What You’ll Experience

We’ll meet at the parking lot of Mercado La Villa de Guadalupe in Zone 10, where we’ll shop together for the fresh ingredients needed for the cooking class. Afterward, we’ll head to my home kitchen in zone 16, where we’ll prepare the traditional Guatemalan menu as a group. Along the way, you’ll learn cooking techniques, cultural stories, and the history behind each dish. Once everything is ready, we’ll sit down together to enjoy the meal we’ve created. At the end of the experience, we’ll head to Ciudad Cayalá, where you can continue exploring the area, enjoy its shops and restaurants, or easily take an Uber back to your accommodation.
