Discover the unique flavors of Yucatecan cuisine during this immersive small group “eat-as-you-make-it” cooking class in a local Cancun home.
In this fun and hands-on experience, you’ll prepare 9 traditional recipes and drinks that highlight the rich flavors of the region.
Start by (optionally) visiting a bustling Cancun market, where you’ll shop for fresh ingredients and sample traditional Yucatecan favorites, including the iconic cochinita pibil.
Then, get your hands dirty as you prepare an appetizer, main dish, and dessert, guided by a skilled culinary chef.
Finally, sit down to enjoy the delicious creations you’ve prepared, all while learning about local culture, food, and traditions in a family home setting.
Vegan and vegetarian alternatives available upon request (please specify when booking).

What to expect
Guided by Chef Mel, you’ll roll, grill, and season your way through handmade tortillas, vibrant guacamole, a flavorful main dish with vegetables, and two indulgent desserts. Along the way, she’ll weave in stories about local ingredients, cooking customs, and her own family recipes, turning each step into a cultural discovery.
This afternoon blends hands-on cooking with all-inclusive indulgence: unlimited margaritas, mojitos, and iced tea (virgin options available), a full multi-course menu prepared from scratch, and recipes you will take home. Every dish is made with fresh, locally sourced ingredients, and none of them contain pork, so everyone can enjoy freely!
Book now to make this flavorful fiesta the highlight of your trip to Cancún.
And if your experience isn’t 5-star worthy, we’ll gladly refund you in full.
This experience happens in the safety of our chef's home and not in a culinary studio. You'll get a glimpse into how locals live, cook and eat.
