Fun experience, delicious food, ask for Tania! - Our group of 6, 3 couples, took the cooking class with Tania Martinez this evening. She did an amazing job! She was friendly and professional and taught us a lot. She even customized our experience based on some of our individual preferences. There was so much food and it was all excellent! Highly recommend you give it a try and ask for Tania! ❤️

Amazing authentic Cozumel food with an amazing learning experience. - Tania is an incredible host and teacher of more than several simple authentic Cozumel eats. The walk through the market while teaching us about all of the different Cozumel native fruits and vegetables, was an amazing time itself! We wanted something more authentic and away from the tourist traps; there could not have been a better experience than this in Cozumel! Prepare for homemade tortillas, margheritas, salsa, pico de gallo, fried beans, more margaritas, various fruits, guacamole, and so many other amazing dishes! Thank you Tania!!

Perfect way to immerse yourself in the island culture of Cozumel via FOOD and learning! 😋 - Just the experience we were looking for on our final day on the island! We are two families who really love to experience culture. Tania is an amazing cook and teacher. (That comes from a teachers perspective and which says a lot!) From the grocery store to the plantain dessert, a FABULOUS excursion full of fun memories for our families.

Incredible Family-Friendly Cooking Class in Cozumel! - This was one of the best experiences of our entire trip! We joined Tania’s cooking class as a family group — from our 6-month-old baby to my 90-year-old grandfather — and it was absolutely perfect for all ages. Tania is an amazing host: friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about sharing her culture. We started with a guided walk through the local market to pick out fresh ingredients, then went to their home to cook an incredible meal. There was so much delicious food and plenty of drinks — we left full, happy, and inspired. The experience was welcoming, hands-on, and fun from start to finish. Highly recommend for families, foodies, and anyone wanting an authentic taste of Cozumel!
