Great Experience!
Excellent authentic day cooking at a local home. We started out at the market and then went back to the house to cook up a storm. Fun and delicious day!

Good to Know
"Alma" is the word for soul in Spanish and it is how authentic Mexican cooking begins. Join Josefina (or Jeronimo, Josefina's son) in her home kitchen for a 3-hour hands-on small-group cooking class (limited to 6 students). Discover and taste the cuisine of Mexico through Josefina's personal family recipes. During this culinary experience you will also get to visit Cozumel's local market. Deepen your cultural knowledge of Mexico by interacting with the local market vendors and then bringing your ingredients home to cook a well-rounded Mexican meal just in time for siesta!

In Josefina's kitchen, students receive instruction on Mexican cooking tools like molcajetes (mortar and pestle), lime presses, tortilla presses, and the comal (a flat griddle). The class covers the preparation of handmade tortillas, traditional sauces, guacamole, side dishes, and more. Participants also have the opportunity to make authentic margaritas or traditional Mexican agua frescas (flavored waters). The session culminates in enjoying the prepared feast, offering a rich taste of Mexican culture.

Well worth your time
Geronimo was so passionate and informed about Mexican food and cooking and how different foods impact the body, together with the delicious and plentiful dishes that tasted so good from simple ingredients, that he changed my mind about Mexican food.
