What to expect

Experience a private, authentic, and intimate gastronomic experience in the kitchen of our home in Tulum. As a chef originally from the Yucatán Peninsula, I will open the doors of my studio to guide you step by step in discovering the secrets and traditional techniques of my land's cuisine.

Unlike commercial or mass classes, this is a private author session designed for small groups where detail and interaction are the protagonists. We will use fresh local ingredients and traditional tools to prepare a feast full of flavor, from the sauces to the dessert.

At the end of the preparation, we will sit together at the table in a warm and relaxed atmosphere to enjoy everything that has been cooked, accompanied by house drinks and great conversations.
