WHAT YOU VISIT
Costa Rica Cooking Class - From Farm to Table
Learn the secrets behind cooking some of Costa Rica's most iconic dishes with an interactive culinary journey. Ideal for beginners and more advanced cooks, your adventure begins with a drive to Rancho Pontevedra, an agro-ecological farm that combines sustainable production and environmental education. Harvest fresh, organic vegetables as you learn about eco-friendly cultivation practices. Your expert guide will share each step of the process-from soil preparation to the art of harvesting-while exploring the methods that ensure the quality and freshness of every crop. Then, you'll join the cook in making local favorites so you can recreate the dishes in your own kitchen. Prepare corn tortillas using techniques handed down through generations, cooking them on a griddle, and pairing them with authentic sides like fresh cheese or ground beans.
