Taste of Yucatan - Merida Cooking Class
ITINERARY
This culinary tour includes a visit to a bustling market, conversation with local people and the experience of cooking and sampling some of the yucatecan delicacies.
We start our tour visiting one of the local markets of Merida, not very frequented by tourists. Our guide will explain us in detail about some of the fruits and vegetables only produced in the region. We will learn about achiote, pepita de calabaza and chile habanero. We will also do our shopping for the meal we will prepare today, before arriving to our host’s home.
The Yucatan cuisine includes one of the most varied arrays of dishes of Mexico. While we prepare our food, our host and guide will explain us some of the traditions of the local people, the influence of other cultures and the differences between the yucatecos and the people from other parts of Mexico. We will learn some Spanish and Mayan words while we taste the delicious plates prepared by ourselves.
We may prepare salbutes, panuchos, papadzules or codzitos. Included beverages are horchata or hibiscus flower tea.
Our experience comes to and after a long chat with our host, and we say good bye to our new friends.
This Merida tour is very interesting and we are sure you are going to love it!
