This was such an informative and fun event. We had made such yummy food. Patricia was a great person, teacher and I hope she continues teaching this class for many years. 🇵🇷🥰

Great experience!

This tour was amazing! We learned about history and food in Puerto Rico before the cooking started which really helped set the scene. We got to speak with local vendors at the farmers market (they were really friendly) and I made my own plantain dish and the chef gave us her secret recipe, can't wait to recreate it when I get home! Great vibes overall and definitely recommend for foodies looking to have an authentic and fun experience.
