Cooking Class in Cancun with Local Chef
Description
Under your chef’s guidance, you’ll prepare several traditional dishes from scratch using the ingredients you just selected. Expect to chop, toast, grind, and stir. You will learn practical techniques you can actually recreate at home, from making salsas by hand to mastering the base of classic Mexican sauces.
The pace is relaxed and hands-on, with plenty of time to ask questions, taste along the way, and understand the “why” behind each step. As dishes come together, the kitchen fills with the aroma of simmering sauces and warm corn. Finally, you’ll sit down to enjoy the full meal you helped create, paired with refreshing drinks and good conversation.
This private experience is ideal for couples, food lovers, families, and small groups who want more than a restaurant visit. It offers real interaction, cultural insight, and practical cooking skills that travel home with you. You leave not only full, but confident that you can recreate the flavors of Mexico long after your vacation ends. Every day you will enjoy a different menu such as: Steak, Pastor and chorizo tacos, Barbecue and quesabirrias, Chicken with mole and rice, Red and green tamales, and Cochinita pibil. In all the classes, we will also cook: Mexican salsa, Red salsa in a molcajete, Guacamole, Comal tortillas, and Rajas poblanas with cream
