Great experience with Tiffany and Jose. First time taking a cooking class with my fiancée and we had a blast. Tiffany explained step by step how to cook the different Colombian food while Jose was the co-chef showing us what to do. They were fun, friendly and knowledgeable. Had a great time and as a bonus Jose taught us how to dance while the food was cooking. Definitely recommend this experience for anyone visiting Cartagena and wants a taste of authentic local food.

Where else can you get a 3-hour class led by 2 persons that includes a dinner for only $38? We learned how to prepare a variety of local dishes and had fun in the process. The whole experience was well organized and conducted in clean surroundings.

Wow a great experience to cook with our family and meet new people.
Both the chef and helper (translator) were very professional, fun and kind.
We learned a lot about Colombian food and how to prepare a few dishes, drinks, etc. Would highly recommend.

We had a wonderful evening cooking, enjoying Colombian dishes, and getting to know our "classmates". Laura and Jesus were fantastic hosts and did a great job explaining the steps, keeping us all entertained, and even went the extra mile to check that we knew how to get home safely. Highly recommend!

Best cooking class I’ve been to. So descriptive, generous with the amount we ate, first meal in Colombia where I was able to be filled, good price, and the chefs’ humor made this experience fun and interactive. I’m still waiting to be sent the recipes 👀

This was a really fun experience, mainly due to our sous chef (interpreter) Donna and chef Chi Chi (who claims not to speak English, though clearly understands!) We were in a small kitchen in back of the restaurant. We helped prepare the brown coconut rice, which was amazing and quite a lot of work. The patacones were the best I've had in CTG and a new experience for me. We seasoned up the red fish with the prepared ingredients and baked in foil-so delicious. Also on the menu were empanadas where we made the dough, stuffed w/meat and or veg. and fried. While things were cooking, we danced with our talented chef.
Of course we ate it all in the dining room in Origenes after!
We did start late, almost 4:00 but, it was due to the fact others were changing the menu they preferred (mostly vegetarian). Still, the class was way over 3 hours so, plan your evening accordingly. Lovely new friends and a scrumptious meal!

So much fun! Interesting too! The cook and her helper made this a very enjoyable experience. Small class of 7 and we prepared a very traditional Colombian fish dish with coconut rice. Even empanadas and a patacone. And then we ate it! Good value of the experience and dinner

Our chefs were wonderful and full of energy! We listened to fun upbeat salsa music the whole time and learned how to make the coolest dishes (smashed plantains, empanadas, fish, coconut rice). Highly recommend. It was very worth it!!

Such a fun experience to learn how to cook some traditional dishes whenever you visit a new country. This is the fourth time we have taken a cooking class when travelling and we will continue. Dana and the other chef (I’m sorry I can’t remember her name) were fun and friendly. We danced and sampled while we cooked. We all got a turn with some parts of the prep. It was nice to meet other people during their travels as well. The meal was delicious. The coconut rice turned out better than when I had it at restaurants. Definitely try this class.

What a fun time in this course. We made such great food and even had time for a little salsa dancing. This class was hands on and the chef gave clear instructions to each person on how to prepare the dishes. I would recommend this class for a solo traveler, a couple or even a group trip.
