Kitchen Utensils
Dinner
Discover traditional Costa Rican cooking with a local Tamarindo chef and taste the culinary highlights of Guanacaste. In this hands‑on class you will learn to make tortillas, chorreadas, patacones fritos, Olla de Carne, arroz de maíz and more. Choose the dish you want to master or let the chef recommend a seasonal selection sourced from local markets.
Experience how locals cook behind the scenes, hear the stories behind each recipe, and try traditional techniques like wood‑fire cooking and the pilón. We’re passionate about sharing our food, culture, and family traditions — ask anything as we cook together.
After the hard work in the kitchen, relax and enjoy a freshly prepared meal together. You’ll leave with recipes, new skills, and a deeper taste for Guanacaste’s culinary heritage.

Wonderful Local Healthy Cooking Class
Wonderful authentic experience in the home of an amazing local guide. Astanda was very kind and a joy to cook with. This class is very informative about Costa Rican culture and cuisine, and she helped us prepare the most delicious multi course meal. I will be dreaming about that food for a long time. It’s a must do if you’re in the Tamarindo area. Muchas gracias Astanda, la comida esta muy deliciosa y estoy contento con todo de la experienca.

This is a terrific...
This is a terrific experience! There were 2other people there when we were there. Astanda was wonderful! She explained all about the dishes we were going to make and all about the spices, etc. she had great music playing in the background so we were all singing and laughing while preparing our food. And then, the best part, eating what we made- it was delicious!!! It was such a relaxing, fun time to make and eat healthy food! Highly recommend

Cooking the Costa Rican way
We had a great time! The class is in her home so it is like eating with family. The ingredients were fresh and local. She had great Costa Rican recipes and explained health benefits of them. Some local stories as well. A good blend of her her making some dishes with our help and us making some on our own. Tito her helper was great, too!
