Experience Details

Enjoy a private cooking class in a local home with your host Tanya. This is a perfect experience for anyone looking to connect with local culture over food. Tanya fell in love with Mexico and moved from Canada in 2020. The kitchen has always been her happy place and she learned to cook authentic Mexican dishes from her friends and neighbors, who were so happy and kind to share their family recipes with her. Living in Mexico for many years has allowed Tanya to perfect these recipes while adding a little twist of her own. She is excited to cook a Mexican meal using the freshest seafood and produce available and share it with guests.
