Best cooking class ever!

Kelly_L, May 2026

This was an amazing class. Stefany was wonderful. She showed us how to create the yummiest food. She’s an exceptional teacher! Thank you so much Stefany. If I could give her a 10 out of 10, I would! A must do.

What a fantastic review, thank you. Stefany will be thrilled you loved the food and her teaching so much 🥘 Cheers, Maira from Cook in Fiesta

Amazing authentic experience

Jessica_Z, May 2026

We had our experience with chef Stefani (or we called chefani) she welcomed us into her home and gave us the most amazing experience. The area was small and hot but well worth it. The food we made was out of this world amazing and she kept our bellies full and our drinks filled. We would highly recommend doing this experience in Cartagena. We had the most amazing time and will definitely make these recipes when we get home. Thank you Stefani!!

What a beautiful review, thank you. Stefany will be so happy you felt welcomed into her home and loved the food so much 🥘 Cheers, Maira from Cook in Fiesta

Amazing time and Stefany is an awesome host!

WillieT_R, May 2026

We had a FANTASTIC time at Chef Stefany’s class. She was very kind to customize the menu for my seafood allergy, and we enjoyed making a great spread of chicken chorizo (which we didn’t know was a thing), patacones, arepas, empanadas, plantains, chicken & rice, and guava. We prepared each dish together, from the dicing to forming the dough and frying each item. Stefany is a wonderful storyteller and kind soul, and she shared her journey to becoming a chef. We ended up having some great, long conversations about loads of other topics. I can’t wait to receive the email with recipes so that I can prepare some of these dishes when I get home. Stephany is a joy and we were so lucky to have this course with her in her home! I would give her ten stars if I could.

Response from Host, May 2026

Thank you for such a beautiful review. We are delighted Stefany made the class warm, personal, and full of great food and conversation 🥘 Cheers, Maira from Cook in Fiesta
