What You’ll Experience

David lives with his family in a beautiful home inside a gated community of Medellin that has a large backyard with a beautifully-crafted wooden patio and views of a picturesque pool. After you meet David, he will drive you to the local market where he buys almost all of his produce. He will share more about locally grown ingredients and how they are used in cooking traditional Colombian dishes. David will then allow you to choose fruits and other foods you’re curious about so that you can try them and cook with them in his home. After you buy your fresh ingredients, David will drive you back to his house for your cooking class. David offers a hands-on experience where he will teach you to make two dishes from scratch using fresh ingredients and herbs from his backyard garden. The cooking portion of the experience will last for about one hour, during which you will learn to make an appetizer and a main dish. Then sit down together at their dining table to enjoy the Colombian meal you helped prepare.
