Experience Details

The cooking workshop is a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in the culinary culture and gastronomy of the country like an authentic Nicaraguan, from the way the ingredients are selected and the reason for each product to the final point on the table before tasting the dish, a unique approach to traditional gastronomy through a quality experience with locals.

It is not always easy for tourists to have access to the traditional food of the country, since it is not cooked every day, it also requires more preparation time and a few more technical aspects, fried food is the most common in Nicaragua, however this food is not a direct influence of our ancestors, therefore we do not call it traditional food, it is at this point that we have designed this experience to bring visitors closer to this food and also to the way of preparing it, the origin and the history behind it.

What You’ll Experience

- At the indicated point the cook waits for you, after a quick introduction and a general description of Nicaraguan gastronomy, he directs you to the market where together with the cook you will look for the products for the dish you will have chosen previously (they are all traditional dishes and there are vegetarian options too), in the market you can learn more about the gastronomic culture of the country, Tasting fruits, typical cookies, drinks, and more, the idea is that we know more about gastronomy not only in the kitchen but through daily life. Once we have bought the ingredients and enjoyed the market, we walk about 10 minutes to the kitchen where everything is ready to start cooking. The space, a technical sheet with the instructions for each dish, remember that we have an appetizer, a main course, and a dessert, of course the cook will always be attentive to ensure that everything goes in order to finally eat everything. Additionally, we include a quick rum tasting (this is an optional activity) which includes the tasting and explanation of the process of one of the best rums in the world.
