What You’ll Do

Discover Mexican coastal flavors with Chef Jorge.

Spice up your itinerary while planning your Riviera Maya adventure with a hands-on private cooking class in Playa del Carmen that invites you to savor the lively flavors of Mexico.

Chef Jorge, who knows coastal Mexican cuisine like the back of his hand, will guide you through regional techniques and flavors rooted in Yucatán culture. You’ll experience market-to-table cooking and discover everything delicious in between.

To start, you'll learn how to use local peppers and herbs to prepare fresh Mexican salsas and guacamole. For the entrée, choose between savory fish wrapped in aromatic banana leaf or slow-roasted Yucatán-style barbecue pork that's impossibly tender. Dessert is a sweet affair with a chocolate tamal or warm churros coated in cinnamon sugar. 

This private cooking class includes a 3-course dinner, all ingredients and utensils as well as printed or digital recipe guide.

If you’ve ever dreamed of cooking with a local chef in Mexico, secure your spot today.

Guests are welcome to bring wine and beer to enjoy during the class.

Jorge was awesome! The food was flavorful, fresh, healthy, and beautiful! He made our Honeymoon dinner a very memorable one. I wish he had his own restaurant so I could visit it regularly! Five Stars!

We had an incredible experience with Chef Jorge! During our Playa del Carmen vacation, we had 4 dinners and a brunch prepared for us by Chef Jorge. He worked with us extensively in advance of our trip to propose menus, and customize them for food allergies. The menus were wonderfully varied to showcase a variety of cuisines, and to allow us to experience fresh, local, seasonal ingredients. Our meals were all delicious. Chef Jorge did a great job presenting the dishes to us, telling us about what inspired him, and showing his passion for his craft. Everything was wonderful, and we would definitely love to experience his cooking again!

Chef Jorge and his su chef Alicia were outstanding in every possible way. Every single meal was delicious, he was on time, communicated clearly, and was professional and friendly. He cooked for 5 adults, 2 children (7-10), and two toddlers. We shared what we were interested in and he planned and created the entire menu. One of the kids is very picky and Jorge was able to easily accommodate his needs. He even provided excellent recommendations for places to visit in the area. Not having to plan, shop, cook, and clean made the vacation much more enjoyable. Highly recommend Chef Jorge!
