Description: ​

​

At the beginning of the class, we start with the description of all the ingredients that we will be using, while talking about the history of the dish, why it is popular and how normally it is presented in our country.

 

As a part of our experience, we will teach you how to prepare a main dish and a drink. You will be peeling, cutting and seasoning all the ingredients in the traditional Colombian way. Every person will have the opportunity to bake, boiled or deep-fry their food.

 

The class will be conducted in both, English and Spanish, with a musical background that harmonizes and integrates what you are learning with the cultural and historical context of the dish.

 

By the end of our class, you will enjoy a full meal that not only will be delicious but also an unforgettable memory of your Colombian trip.
