The plan
4 HOURS
Our cooking tour give you the opportunity to experience the authentic tastes of Nicaraguan cuisine, known for its unique, tasty flavors that mix traditional colonial Spanish cooking with local Mayan flavors. It starts with a safety briefing, introduction to the fresh ingredients you will be using and why they are relevant to that area of the country while collecting them from a local market and growing field. You will then move on into the kitchen and continue with the preparation process of our pre-selected recipe always supervised by an expert. This may include peeling vegetables, making and cooking tortillas on an outside griddle or mixing stuff, until you come together to create your culinary masterpiece and sit down to eat it while sharing with the host family. Once the tour is done your recipe will be sent to you via email so you can amaze your friends and family back home with what you’ve learnt!
