This isn’t just a cooking class — it’s an authentic Costa Rican home experience. You’ll step into Elizabeth’s family kitchen, surrounded by the aromas of fresh local ingredients and the charm of a real Monteverde home. Unlike larger, tourist-focused classes, this is an intimate, hands-on experience where you not only learn recipes but also share stories, laughter, and a homemade meal around the table. Every dish is prepared the way locals have done for generations, making it a true taste of Costa Rican culture.

What to expect

During this hands-on cooking class, you’ll join Elizabeth in her home kitchen to prepare a traditional Costa Rican meal from scratch. You’ll start by learning about the local ingredients, many of which are grown in the Monteverde region. Step by step, you’ll prepare and cook each dish together, picking up tips and techniques along the way. Once the meal is ready, you’ll sit down to enjoy it family-style, sharing stories and flavours. Vegetarian, vegan, and allergy-friendly options are always available, and transportation can be arranged if needed.
