Yucatecan cooking class in Tulum: Nixtamal, Recado, and Pibil

About this activity

Welcome to my house!

Discover Yucatecan gastronomy from scratch, starting with traditional ingredients and techniques. As a chef originally from Yucatán, I will accompany you throughout the process so that you cook and understand how each ingredient is transformed.

During the class you will learn and participate in:

- Nixtamal and Recado: Grind your own nixtamal and recado with traditional tools and discover how Yucatecan flavors are built.

- Dough and Tortillas: Prepare the dough from scratch, learn to roll and get your tortillas to puff up on the griddle.

- Yucatecan Pibil: Prepare the marinade, work with banana leaves, and discover the secrets of traditional pibil.

- Sauces: Prepare Xnipec and sauces with roasted ingredients in a molcajete.

- Sweet Touch: Prepare crispy homemade churros.

- Intimate experience: Cooking in my home, in a comfortable and private space, with a maximum of 4 people.

In the end, we will enjoy together everything we prepared from scratch.
