Very Fun! - I asked Maria to arrange transportation for me from Downtown Quito to her home, and she did so. Her home is in a lovely gated community about 45 minutes outside of Quito. She toured me through her garden, explained some of the ingredients we'd be using, and we prepared ceviche and empanadas! I enjoyed it so much, I've just purchased the ingredients at home to prepare the dishes with my family.

Awesome cooking class - Maria's cooking class was awesome! Very hands on which I liked. Very accommodating of dietary restrictions and we learned easy authentic Ecuadorian recipes to take back home as well as alternatives if we don't have the exact ingredients. Everything came out very tasty!

Informative and Incredible - So much fun. I learned so much and the recipes we made were very authentic and fresh, yet simple enough that I can easily replicate them at home. Loved my time there.

Market visit & cooking class with Maria - Had a great day with Maria in Quito visiting a local market and cooking a meal at her home. Maria is super nice, easy to talk with. She picked me up at the hotel and we headed to a local market where she introduced me to the local ingredients and dishes, great experience. She took me to her home to where we prepared together a wonderful meal. If you look for an individual private tour, learn about local cuisines and get an insight in Ecuadorian lifestyle reach out to Maria. I highly recommend her tour

Taste of Ecuador- Vegan style! - I had an amazing time. I was picked up from my Airbnb and we went to the market. I was able to try lots of unique fruit and food. I had a great time making my meal and with the recipes she gave me to take home I look forward to trying to recreate the magic. I am glad that this experience was able to be made vegan. Since I am plant based. Highly recommend.

Amazing Food Tour/Cooking Class - My mom and I had such a great time with Maria learning to make traditional lunch and touring the markets with Maria! She was an excellent guide, very warm and welcoming. I would recommend a private tour with her to anyone who wants to feel at home in the Quito area!

Enjoyed our cooking class with Maria - We loved our cooking class with Maria! We had veggie options of Ceviche and Llapingacho (soo delicious!) and got the recipes afterwards. Maria was lovely, she was very flexible concerning the date of the class. Even though we were one hour too late because of a traffic jam, she took a lot of time to tell us about ecuadorian food and the culture. We had much fun and learnt a lot, we can definitely recommend this cooking class to couples/friends, also to people not eating meat
