Best Cooking Class! - My boyfriend and I took this amazing cooking class and it was a highlight of our entire trip! Michael and Kevin were so fun to work with and really made the entire process so much fun. The food we cooked was delicious and so was the pineapple juice we got to enjoy with our meal. Not only did we enjoy the meal but we also loved learning how to make authentic empanadas!
If you are visiting Nosara this is a class I 100% recommend taking :)

Be ready for a great cooking experience! - Michael, the chef, and Kevin, the interpreter and assistant, were both extraordinary. We were on a farm and met some of the animals including Maria, the rooster who truly ruled the roost. We participated in the cooking and made the most amazing dishes. To add to the experience as the meal was being prepared, we enjoyed fried plantain chips with a mayonnaise salsa (it was wonderful. Trust me.) and coconut milk to drink. The main dishes were unique, scrumptious, and Costa Rican. The experience was just plain fun.

Cooking class, repelling, water safari - From the moment we arrived at the farm for the cooking class, it felt like we were being welcomed into a family home. Kevin and Michael were such wonderful hosts—I can’t recommend them highly enough! The class was not only so much fun, but also an incredible way to learn about Costa Rican food and culture. And the meal itself? Absolutely delicious! It was truly one of the highlights of our trip.
We loved our time with Kevin and Michael so much that we booked another adventure with them the very next day—a water safari and rappelling tour—which turned out to be just as amazing. We left with unforgettable memories and, even better, two new friends!

Wonderful experience for the entire family! - wow! What an incredible family experience this was with our 80 year old family members! We loved every minute. Kevin was a wonderful host - he explained each step, showed us how to prepare it all (put all 6 of us to work chopping!), and talked about his own mother teaching him. The fun was made even greater because of the local menagerie of animals - farm cats, a dog, a goat, a rooster, and 3 pigs along with 7 three-day old piglets Nothing was wasted - all of the scraps went straight to the pigs. And the food! It was delicious - empanadas, salsa, yucca chips, plantain chips, patacones - yum! We absolutely recommend this for families of all ages. We had so much fun eating we forgot to take pictures of our meal!

Amazing authentic Costa Rican cooking experience. - Kevin was an amazing host that taught us so much. All of the food was fresh and it was fun for the whole family to participate in preparing the meal. The patacones, salsa, and empanadas were YUM. The fresh bean dip was out of this world. there were six baby piglets that were literally only three days old. They were adorable. We learned about the things they grow.
What a wonderful experience for the whole family on a beautiful farm

- One of my favorite experiences on the trip. I kept going back and forth, especially because I had my 10 year old sons with me, but I am so glad I booked it, because the kids and I would have missed out on a unique experience. Kevin and Michael were superb hosts and left lasting impressions.
A day well spent!!

Great immersive experience - This cooking experience was very relaxed and fun. All of the local foods were delicious and interesting to eat. They had several exotic local fruits for us to try. We were able to learn how to prepare plantains two different ways and make empanadas. The property the class is on has pigs goats and kittens. My kids enjoyed seeing and feeding the animals. Overall fun experience
