What To Expect
Travel inland from the port in Progreso and discover the culture through food, in this Mexican cooking class in Merida in a local home. We recommended this Merida Shore Excursions, for a true and authentic taste of Mexico. Step into the home of Sofia, a local with a passion for sharing her cooking, culture and traditions. There is no better way of learning and discovering than from a direct source, and when Sofia shares her love of what she does best you will remember this day forever.
In your Merida cooking class, you will work side by side with Sofia in her own kitchen as she teaches you how to make traditional Yucatecan dishes from scratch, such as sikilpak (ground pumpkin seed dip) and codzitos (Yucatecan appetizer) or empanadas de chaya and panuchos y salbut (tortilla with shredded chicken and garnished with lettuce and onion) or tacos al pastor. And of course, no lesson in Yucatecan cooking would not be complete without the famous fiery habanero salsa! Once all the dishes are prepared you will sit down and enjoy the fruits of your labors, along with a delicious local beer.
