Description

Whether you're a hands-on enthusiast or prefer to observe and savor, you’re welcome to participate at your own pace as you explore how locals work behind the scenes of Costa Rican cuisine. This immersive experience invites you to prepare traditional dishes such as fresh green banana ceviche, gallo pinto (a flavorful blend of rice and beans), orsweet plantain empanadas. Ingredients include ripe plantains, local herbs like culantro and anato, Costa Rican black beans, rice, and freshly squeezed mnadarin citrus—all sourced from nearby farms and markets. As you cook, you'll discover the cultural and nutritional significance of these ingredients and how they reflect the wholesome, balanced lifestyle known as “Pura Vida.” Once your meal is ready, you’ll be invited to enjoy it in a cozy, open-air dining area next to the kitchen. This seated space offers the warmth of shared stories, views of the cooking process, and the flavors of a truly local feast. Get ready to cook, connect, and savor the soul of Costa Rica—one bite at a time.
