Experience Details
Discover the essence of Yucatecan cuisine in this unique hands-on cooking experience. Begin in Mérida’s historic center before heading to a welcoming local home, where you’ll be introduced to the heart of regional cooking: masa. Learn how to prepare and season your own dough, then use it to craft traditional dishes such as empanadas with chaya and cheese, crispy salbutes, and fresh handmade tortillas. Along the way, you’ll also prepare a spicy habanero salsa and a refreshing lemonade. Finally, gather around the table to enjoy the delicious meal you created, finishing with a sweet Yucatecan treat. More than a class, this experience connects you to the flavors, stories, and hospitality that define Yucatán
