Authentic Monteverde Cooking Class in a Local Home｜Costa Rica

Join me in my home just minutes from Santa Elena for an authentic Costa Rican cooking experience in Monteverde.

This hands-on class takes place in a warm, welcoming setting where you’ll prepare traditional Costa Rican dishes from scratch using fresh, locally sourced ingredients. Rather than following a fixed menu, we cook based on seasonal availability, local traditions, and the preferences of the group — just like Costa Rican families do at home.

Shared Cooking Class (Small Group):

Our shared cooking classes run on a fixed schedule to keep the experience personal and social:

Lunch classes:
Days: Monday–Saturday
Time: 10:00 AM–1:00 PM

Dinner class:
Day: Saturday
Time: 4:00 PM–7:00 PM

Group size: Maximum 9 guests

Duration: Approx. 3 hours

You’ll take part in every step of the process — from shaping fresh tortillas and frying plantains to preparing rice and beans and seasonal side dishes. Along the way, I’ll share cooking techniques, explain the ingredients, and talk about their role in Costa Rican daily life and culture.

At the end, we’ll sit down together and enjoy the meal we’ve prepared in a relaxed, family-style setting.
