Begin your experience inside a true Costa Rican home kitchen, where authentic local flavors and hands-on cooking come together in a small-group setting. Meet your local host and fellow travelers to begin your culinary adventure. No prior cooking experience is necessary, and you’re bound to learn something new about Costa Rican cuisine and culture, whether you’re a novice or an expert chef. Together, you’ll prepare traditional Costa Rican dishes such as ceviche and patacones, along with appetizers and the classic guaro sour. As you follow step-by-step guidance throughout the class, you’ll learn practical methods used locally that are easy to recreate back home. Your host will also capture candid photos to help you remember the experience. Most ingredients are easy to find worldwide, and you’ll receive a digital recipe book plus a curated San José Food Guide to keep exploring local flavors. When the meal is ready, sit together to enjoy the dishes you’ve prepared and toast with a homemade guaro sour and a complimentary glass of wine. You’ll leave with recipes, practical skills, meaningful moments, keepsakes — and the peace of mind of our 5-star money-back guarantee.
