Exceptional & Authentic - Cooking with Milton was definitely a highlight of our trip! The location we cooked (his home) at was breathtaking, and it felt very grounding and special to handpick ingredients at the market together. We would absolutely recommend it.

Book it!!!!! - This was such a wholesome experience! Milton took us to the Mercado and showed us his “go tos” and we bought some of the ingredients we were going to need to prepare our dishes. We also picked fresh fruits that we got to try as a “snack” during the cooking class. Then we took tuktuks to his home where we had the class. The setup on the rooftop was beautiful & volcano views. We were a small group and it felt so personal. Milton explained the dishes we were going to prepare and all the steps/ingredients we were going to use. We had water, hibiscus tea and red wine throughout the evening. It was so much fun and I am so grateful I was able to experience this. The food was absolutely delicious. Also I am a solo traveller and I felt very comfortable/safe/included and I got to meet incredible people during my activity.

An experience you have to do! - We had such an amazing time at the Foodietenago cooking class! Milton made the experience excellent from start to finish. We got to learn about the daily markets and followed him through them as he picked out the foods we’d be preparing during the class. He then took us to his home where he taught us about Guatemalan cuisine while showing us how to prepare each dish. The tostada we made was incredible! The Pepián was amazing. It was so nice to get a local experience and learn while cooking together in the class. At the end, Milton arranged tuktuks to take us back into town which was a nice little ending to the whole night. We highly recommend booking this class with Milton, it was a highlight of our trip!!

Top Notch Market Tour & Cooking Class - My husband 2 boys ( ages 21 & 16) and I got to experience Milton’s amazing hospitality. His love for Antigua- the culture, the people and food was so evident in his class. We all learned several new techniques and delicious recipes. The market tour was out of this world too. So cool to get the inside scoop and see it from a locals perspective. Thank you Milton for the great experience!

Great learning experience! - Such a highlight of my time in Antigua. The market tour was super immersive, and I loved getting to pick out fresh ingredients and actually cook everything ourselves. The instructor made it fun and easy to follow, and the food turned out amazing. Definitely one of the best ways to experience the culture here.

Solo Traveler Must Do! - The entire evening was awesome! You start out walking through the market where Milton shows you all the different stands and you buy some of the ingredients needed for the class. Then you go back to his home on a rooftop terrace and start cooking! I went as a solo traveler and met a couple others there as well and overall it was just a really fun time. You learn a lot, and everybody gets to work together to cook TONS of food - like you might as well skip lunch and you probably won’t need to eat dinner.
