Amazing Experience - Cooking class with Chef Ari and her team was an absolutely amazing experience! She and the rest of the staff are so warm, welcoming and knowledgeable. The house is stunning - huge professional kitchen, amazing architecture and design details and a beautiful outdoor living area with ocean views. The class was fun from the time we walked in the door. We enjoyed craft passion fruit margaritas while getting an overview of our afternoon. Ari then led us through food preparation and taught us several new cooking techniques. The amount of time spent cooking was perfect - enough to learn a lot but not too much. We then relaxed in the outdoor living area enjoying the views and a pineapple margarita. Soon after we were served our meal outside complete with a surprise appetizer. Everything was delicious! We highly recommend this class and will do it again next time we're in Cabo. This is a great way to improve your cooking skills and, more importantly, to learn about the culture and history of the places you visit.

Excellent afternoon with Ari and her Staff - We spend 2 weeks in Cabo every January with friends. During that time, we plan several “outings”, such as whale watching, hiking, cooking classes, etc. This year we chose to spend an afternoon with Ari and her staff at her cooking school in her home.
From the first point of contact, our communication with Ari’s assistant, Antonio, was clearly detailed. We were working with some food restrictions and he re-worked the menu to allow everyone to safely participate in every dish. He made it look effortless!
Ari’s staff was a well-oiled machine! They continued to work on their own assignments while Ari talked us through different elements of the meal we were making. She included them in the conversations and shared some of their specialty recipes with us. She clearly respects her staff.
You may ask yourself “what can I possibly learn in Mexican food cooking class?” So many tips and tricks. And, you are sent the recipes after the class is over.
One thing that we came away with was a new reference for some private meals and catering for when we come back with our large, increasing family.
Well done, Ari and Staff

Chef Ari & Team Exceed Expectations - A group of friends booked a cooking class with Chef Ari, with no prior experience with her, only from reading other reviews. The cooking class, the experience in her kitchen, followed by a lovely lunch afterward met up to the hype and exceeded our expectations. Chef Ari was personable, yet professional, and you can tell she shares a special bond with her team. We are rooting for Chef Ari and her team's success! If you want a fun experience, with quality food and a great meal, Chef Ari is who you are looking for. Cheers!

The class was the guys' first cooking experience, and they were utterly delighted. Chef Ari ensured the class remained engaging throughout. As a professionally trained chef, she made us feel at ease in her home. The kitchen was a culinary dream, well-equipped to inspire any cooking enthusiast. Chef Ari's hospitality made us feel right at home. The dishes we prepared were outstanding, with incredibly rich flavors achieved using simple yet fresh ingredients.
