Great class. Not as hands on as we thought, BUT, we made homemade tortillas and that was incredibly fun!! I would definitely do this again and my mom loved it. Loved learning from Kathy and about life in Costa Rica. Also, the venue where this is hosted is super cool!

This was one of our favorite activities in La Fortuna! Kathy was such a fun and knowledgeable teacher, and we had such a great time preparing and enjoying our meal together! Our favorite parts were making the cocktail (which we then ordered at every opportunity for the rest of our trip), and making our own tortillas! The facility was beautiful and clean, as well! Highly recommend!

We loved this experience! They picked us up and took us to a cozy kitchen area open to the outdoors. We made a drink, chicken, tortillas, a veggie dish. Kathy was a wonderful host who answered all our questions! Definitely would recommend this experience.
