Mérida Cooking Class Experience
Enjoy a private cooking experience led by a local chef. The day begins in Hidalgo Park, one of the city’s central meeting points. From there, walk through the downtown streets to reach the Galvez Market. This market is known for its lively atmosphere and wide variety of fresh produce, meats, and spices. Here you will have the chance to learn about local ingredients and purchase everything needed for the dishes you will prepare later. After gathering the products, continue to the chef’s home, where the cooking class takes place in a welcoming setting. Guided step by step, you will prepare a selection of regional recipes using the ingredients chosen from the market. The menu changes depending on the season, ensuring that the dishes reflect what is freshest and most traditional at the time of your visit. This hands-on experience not only introduces you to the techniques behind Yucatecan cuisine but also provides an opportunity to understand the cultural importance of food in daily life. By the end of the class, you will share the meal you have prepared, enjoying both the flavors and the knowledge gained during the day.
