Join Claudia for an unforgettable culinary experience in Valladolid, where you'll immerse yourself in the local food and culture. Begin your adventure with a visit to the vibrant Valladolid market, where you'll hand-pick fresh ingredients for your cooking class and sample delicious antojitos (snacks). Inside the bustling market, you'll find vendors selling fruits, vegetables, herbs, meats, handicrafts, and kitchen utensils. See how the locals shop, interact with the vendors, learn about regional produce, and take in the sights, sounds, and smells—truly an unmissable experience in Valladolid.
After the market tour, enjoy a 10-minute drive to the cooking studio to start your Mexican cooking class, where you’ll learn to prepare traditional Yucatán dishes. Claudia will guide you through the step-by-step process of cooking 5-6 local dishes, including traditional salsas and homemade tortillas. This 5-6 hour food experience in Valladolid includes a guided market tour, hands-on cooking class, all the ingredients, recipes to take home, and refreshing drinks. After cooking, sit down to share the meal you helped prepare, served with aguas frescas, 2 beers, and 1 tequila drink.
A vegetarian dirt can be accommodated, if informed in advance at the time of booking.
