Things to do in Cancun, Quintana Roo: The Best Cooking Classes
Sunny Cancun has much more to offer than its party-town reputation might suggest. Plenty of gorgeous, drama-free family resorts cater to folks who want to experience the tropical Yucatan climate. There are significant Mayan ruins here, such as El Rey and the Yamil Lu’um, a crumbling tower of pale gray stone. Learn more about this ancient civilization at the Museo Maya de Cancun. For a literal taste of Mexico, take a tour of the Museo Sensorial del Tequila.

I took the Mexican cooking class while vacationing in Cancun last month. Marisol was so kind and knowledgable! We made margaritas, guacamole, salsa, fish al pastor, shrimp ceviche and a special fried dessert. It was a fun, hands-on class, and we enjoyed our hard work with a big meal at the end. They also served wine and beer with the meal. I would definitely recommend this class!

Staying at a resort in Cancún, México? Get out and spend a day at Yum Cooking Workshop with Chef Andres! This was by far the highlight our week vacation in Cancún. Staying at a resort has its perks, but let’s face it, they often lack the experience of authentic culture of the area. A day of Chef Andres’ cooking workshop is a perfect way to get a little taste of the Mexican culture. Chef Andres takes you through various courses of traditional recipes, providing a rich history of each dish. Along the way we got to enjoy taking part in preparing some of the dishes such as salsa and empanadas. The tequila and mezcal tasting was a fantastic break, learning more about the history of these spirits, from an impassioned Chef Andres. The pairings with the tequila and mezcal such as pineapple, oranges, limes, chocolate, and chili powder mix were really enjoyable, especially exploring different ways to pair each with the different tequilas. The hospitality and the food were incredible. We loved everything about this unique experience and would highly recommend Yum Cooking Workshop. Getting to the workshop was no problem for the taxi driver, and Chef Andres was very responsive.

There is no better way to know a culture than through its gastronomy. That is why we have the best option for you to learn how to cook authentic mexican dishes, straight from a very experienced mexican chef. Chef Dussan began to share his passion for cooking when he was only 14 years old. As a child, it was very exciting to be with his “abuelita” in the kitchen learning about the culinary traditio
