Authentic Mexican Cooking Classes in the Riviera Maya
Are you looking forward to digging into delicious cuisine when you visit Riviera Maya? What if you could make those same authentic dishes when you go home? You don’t have to enroll in culinary school to learn to master popular foods. Instead, the Playa del Carmen Cooking Classes & Market Tour will provide you with everything you need to become a master chef – at least for one meal. You’ll even find out how to pick out the ingredients before you prepare the food. And with Chef Alma as the teacher, you can expect to hear lots of fun stories and details about Mexican culture. Chef Alma learned to cook from her parents, and now she’s ready to pass it on to you. There’s just one catch – Playa del Carmen cooking classes fill up fast, and you can only get in if you reserve a spot. We have a great deal on the Riviera Maya cooking class, so now’s the ideal time to book.
While some cooking classes in Playa del Carmen start in the kitchen, this one’s a bit different. Chef Alma will take you to her local spice and produce market. Watch her select the perfect ingredients for the meal while she talks about her neighborhood. While she shops and talks, you can also engage in a bit of Riviera Maya sightseeing.
You can look at some additional Riviera Maya attractions on your way back to the kitchen, where it will be time to cook! You’ll make a main course, plus homemade tortillas, guacamole, and salsa. Oh, and Chef Alma will also show you how to make a soup or side dish. Your senses will be in overdrive when you smell and taste this meal.
Cooking classes in Riviera Maya are in high demand, so book your spot today. Chef Alma is excited to teach you everything she knows about authentic Mexican cuisine, so grab your spot. Instead of just taking one of the standard Playa del Carmen sightseeing tours, you can learn how to cook like a pro! It’s so much fun this will end up being one of your favorite Riviera Maya excursions.
