Meals included
Prepare a delicious lunch or dinner in a kitchen custom-designed for cooking classes. Modern, spacious and well-ventilated, the facility features food prep stations, cooking islands and a dining area. Each participant has an individual workspace complete with a knife, cutting board, apron and other kitchen utensils.
Your fun and tasty cooking class starts with a brief introduction to Colombian cuisine and the meal you'll prepare. Learn how to make arepas stuffed with chicken or avocado and a second starter of fried plantains with shrimp and a tomato salsa topping.
The main dish is fish baked in a Bijao tree leaf -- a traditional cooking technique from the Colombian Amazon region. The result is a lean, juicy fish that is served with cassava. For dessert, you will prepare a typical sweet treat popular in Cartagena.
A homemade fresh fruit drink is served with the main course; you can also purchase wine or beer (at your own expense).
Afterward, walk through Cartagena's narrow streets and plazas to explore the colonial walled city.
Notes:
The class and menu can be adapted to vegetarian, celiac and lactose-intolerant ingredients. You must advise the shore excursions team prior to arrival in Cartagena. Wear comfortable walking shoes.
