Super fun experience - What a fun experience it was. We went with her to Pamela's house and there we cooked together with her mother. Pretty much the whole welcoming family was present. After that I had a great meal.

Cooking in Merdia Pamela and Beta. - Pamela and Beta and their support team of grandmother, grandfather and little sister were so engaging, welcoming and knowledgeable about Masa and it’s different preparations and applications. The food was delicious and we’re looking forward to cooking a Mayan feast for our friends.

Such a fun and authentic experience - This workshop was honestly one of our favorite activities in Mérida. Pamela welcomed us into her home and guided us through the whole process of making masa and traditional dishes. She explained everything with so much passion and made the experience super fun and easy to follow. We loved learning about the culture behind each dish, and the food we made was absolutely delicious. If you’re looking for a fun culinary experience, this is a must!
