Overview

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.

What To Expect

This is a unique opportunity to visit the home of a local and explore traditional Mexican food and culture. During your cooking class with Tanya, you will learn to cook Mexican dishes that are easy to replicate at home. Begin with a fun tequila based cocktail before joining Tanya in her open kitchen to cut and prep ingredients for your meal. During your one-hour cooking lesson, you might learn to make spicy shrimp tacos with mango salsa, shrimp ceviche tostadas with pico de gallo or chicken enchiladas with salsa and guacamole. You will also learn to prepare a Mexican dessert such as con or carlota de limón (Mexican lemon icebox cake) or chocolate avocado mousse. After cooking, help Tanya plate the meal that you will share together at the dining table over a fresh Paloma, a tequila-based cocktail.
