MANUEL ANTONIO COOKING CLASSES

Embark on a delightful and educational journey through the flavors of Costa Rica with our immersive culinary tour. Learn about the origins of organic ingredients, their preparation, and how to recreate them in your own kitchen.

Begin your adventure at the local farmers' market in Quepos, where you'll peruse the vibrant stands and select ingredients with the guidance of your knowledgeable tour guide, tailored to the menu designed for you. Then, venture to the quaint town of Londres, where our private ranch and dining area await.

Upon arrival, our friendly staff will lead you through our organic garden, allowing you to handpick finishing flavors, colors, and textures for your meal. Next, join our expert local cooks in the kitchen for a hands-on cooking experience. Learn the traditional techniques of making corn tortillas from scratch, crafting exotic ceviches with plantain or banana, preparing rice the old-fashioned way, simmering chicken in a rich tomato sauce, and crafting flavorful picadillos with minced meats, veggies, and spices.

As you sit down to savor your meal, not only will your appetite be satisfied, but your curiosity for Costa Rican local flavors will also be piqued. Let your imagination soar as you contemplate recreating these dishes at home using your own seasonal ingredients.
