Authentic Jaliscan Cooking Class with a Local Helene in a Traditional Hacienda

Join your local host Helene at her spacious, open kitchen and learn to cook an authentic Jaliscan meal from handed down recipes perfected by Helene over the years. You and Helene will prepare three dishes from scratch and she will teach you some master cooking techniques. You will learn how to perfectly chop ingredients for the best tasting salsa, how to marinate your meats and how to fry a whole fish to perfection!

Your meal may include dishes such as a seafood ceviche, a whole snapper (a typical Puerto Vallarta fish) fried in oil and garlic and served with a mango and cilantro salsa, carne asada from the barbecue served with tortillas and salsas, or birria, a flavorful goat or beef stew simmered in tomatoes, chilies and garlic served with tortillas and refried beans. 

The cooking class will last about 1.5 hours before you sit down to enjoy the meal you helped prepare. What a great way to dive into authentic Mexican culture and cuisine!

Enjoy a private and authentic cooking class in a local Puerto Vallarta home with your host Helene. This is a perfect experience for anyone looking to connect with local culture over food. Your cooking class will take place in a local home kitchen where Helene will teach you 2-3 traditional Mexican dishes from family recipes. After cooking, you will enjoy your meal together. This is a unique opportunity to visit the home of a local and explore traditional Mexican culture and cuisine.
