What to expect

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.
