Perfect Bachelorette Activity - I booked this experience approximately four months ahead of time. It was excellent value for the experience. I booked this as a bachelorette activity for a group of four and Chef Coty made sure we had an amazing time. As soon as I booked, Chef Coty sent over all of the instructions and was attentive to details (allergies, purpose of our trip/booking the experience, etc.). Her communication skills (as well as her culinary skills) are top tier. It was very easy to reach her the morning of our experience via WhatsApp. Everything started on time and she even gave us some leftovers to provide to our taxi driver😊. We opted for the five hour, three course experience with tequila/mezcal tasting and would highly recommend it. The time flew by and we would absolutely do it again. Chef Coty prepared a customized menu and walked us through each step. She demonstrated all skills, stepped in to provide assistance, and set an overall positive vibe. I’m happy to report the bride and the entire bridal party (myself included) had an amazing time. Muchisimas gracias Chef Coty y Carlos! Mucho gusto y hasta la proxima vez 🥰

Wonderful experience! - Coty was great…..loved making sure we learned about all the ingredients and where they came from in Mexico. One thing to keep in mind…if you come into Cozumel on a cruise ship, you have to make your way to the mainland on a ferry……over an hour commute to get there, but worth the trip!

Learn the skills to cook Mexican at home - Few experiences in life will ever compare to this. As foodies who enjoy both cooking and eating, we have been long-time enjoyers of Mexican food. But the cuisine can seem daunting to beginners. Out of curiosity, we took the class and it is because of Chef Coty that we now feel confident cooking Mexican food at home. Her class taught us everything from perfecting roasting vegetables for salsa to making silky smooth black beans to even the most delicious pipian. That's not all---she is also a gifted storyteller who can make even the seemingly boring act of cooking rice seem like a special occasion. If I am back in Cancun, I will be taking this class again even if it means cooking the same dishes just to spend time with her.

Fun evening with family - We loved our cooking class where we made ceviche, banana leaf wrapped fish and flan. Our chef was chatty, informative and fun! Our teens would not choose fish off a menu but both loved what we made about had the added benefit of inspiring them to try new things! We all learned a lot about cooking, mezcal and tequila! The class is very long. We arrived at 4 and left close to 10. Make sure you don’t arrive hungry! It’s located in a residential area that was quite convenient to Playa Del Carmen and easily accessible by taxi.

Great cooking class for couples or groups! - The class was great! You can tell Coty is very passionate about not only cooking but teaching. She kept the class interactive and entertaining, it was more then just following instructions she really taught you the why behind what causes what flavors.

Excellent experience - I am so excited to cook with Coty again. My class in 2023 was amazing and I am looking forward to this year’s menu ( especially the monchamantele ). Mole dishes are. my favourite. I want to recommend your cooking classes to everyone. The atmosphere, the interactions with others, the menu, everything was great, See you in few days.

Highly recommend this cooking class! - This was an experience beyond cooking. Chef Coty is as personable and funny as she is knowledgeable(which is very). She went above and beyond just teaching us the recipes. She would explain why we were doing certain things and taught us hacks to make things easier, taught the instructions and alternative ways to do things and also created a wonderful environment for easy and fun conversation. I would definitely recommend her class. Have fun while you learn new things, make good food, meet new people and take the recipes home with you! Thank you so much for the amazing opportunity to learn from you :)
