Learning to Cook Authentic Mexican Cuisine During a Cancun Vacation
Saturday, March 19th, 2011
You won’t find cochinita pibil (roasted pork in a spice paste and served with red onion) and nopales salad (prickly pear cactus with onion, cilantro, vinegar, olive oil and spices) on Taco Bell’s menu but you may find them on the day’s menu at The Little Mexican Cooking School located just 30 minutes from Cancun. The culinary school opened in 2009 and recently topped TripAdvisor’s excursion list for the Yucatan Peninsula and is becoming the in thing to do when visiting Cancun.
In 2010, United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) designated Mexican cuisine as an cultural treasure worth preserving. Five days a week, Tuesday through Saturday, The Little Mexican Cooking School offers a full day of class that teaches authentic Mexican cooking. Each class includes information about Mexico’s history, culture and cuisine. The day starts with a continental breakfast with pastries and Mexican coffee which rolls into an in-the-kitchen educational session which is followed by a late Mexican lunch and accented with refreshing beverages.
During the day, culinary class participants learn to make between five and seven recipes and are sent home with a recipe book of the dishes taught and a fabulous souvenir apron. Class sizes are limited in size to a maximum of 12 people.
Add a little spice to your Cancun vacation by checking out The Little Mexican Cooking School. Learn traditional cooking techniques and recipes you can bring home to share with friends and family or just to re-experience your Mexican vacation. Once you book your Cancun accommodations, secure your seat at the Little Mexican Cooking school table. It’s one caliente ticket! Visit their website at www.thelittlemexicancookingschool.com.
