Conclude your experience on a sweet note with a delicate coconut flan drizzled in lime-infused caramel.

Throughout the four-hour class, the chef will share time-honored techniques, personal stories, and cultural insights that deepen your connection to the Yucatán’s culinary legacy. This isn’t merely a cooking class, it’s an immersive, flavorful journey that leaves you with unforgettable memories, expert guidance, and a treasure trove of recipes to recreate these exceptional dishes at home.
