Jorge was very hospitable and a wealth of knowledge. The food was excellent and we learned a key lesson about avocados that will change the shelf life of our guacamole!

This was a wonderful and immersive experience. It was like going to a friend's house and making dinner together. Learning about the the foods of Costa Rica and Costa Rican culture was great.

I booked this class and was added to a group What's App thread. The provider had made plans with another participant to hold the class at an alternate location vs the provider's home. The participant had not cleared it with her host and the class was not allowed to be held at that location. No alternative location was offered by the provider. I just tried to get my refund and was told the provider denied it and therefore Viator will not refund my money.

We enjoyed our cooking experience with Jorge. He walked us through how to make patacones, pollo mechado, guacamole, and tuna carpaccio (2 ways.) He encouraged us to try using our Spanish (even though mine is horrible) and talked with us about the food, where it came from, and the role it played in Tico culture. The food was delicious and Jorge was really fun to learn from and share a meal with. I would recommend this experience to anyone, it was a blast and I'm so glad we took the opportunity to do it.

Very professional. Walked us through the process step by step. And the food was absolutely amazing! Will do again when we visit Costa Rica

This was fun and educational. We were introduced to some true Costa Rican flavors, which had been difficult to come by in our trip to this point. Jorge was super welcoming answered our questions and really made us feel welcome in his home.
