Excellent cooking class. The chef explained everything clearly. The guide was very helpful. We learned to cook simple home meals which we will try out at home. Would highly recommend.

I loved it!!! It was so fun!! It was kinda long but so worth it ! We cooked an entire meal and made a traditional drink! Of course we got to eat it. The chef was awesome and the person talking to the class!

Great cooking adventure. Was wonderful to learn about the Colombian palette and how to cook in their style. The instructors made it really fun.

This was one of my favorite excursions in Cartagena. For the price, you're getting a fully immersive cooking experience, learning about the culture through food, and getting a full meal. It was so much fun! The restaurant was very clean, and the host chefs were both so kind and funny. The food was AMAZING, the coconut rice that we made might be some of the best coconut rice you can find in Cartagena. 10/10 recommend!

This was a really fun experience, mainly due to our sous chef (interpreter) Donna and chef Chi Chi (who claims not to speak English, though clearly understands!) We were in a small kitchen in back of the restaurant. We helped prepare the brown coconut rice, which was amazing and quite a lot of work. The patacones were the best I've had in CTG and a new experience for me. We seasoned up the red fish with the prepared ingredients and baked in foil-so delicious. Also on the menu were empanadas where we made the dough, stuffed w/meat and or veg. and fried. While things were cooking, we danced with our talented chef. Of course we ate it all in the dining room in Origenes after! We did start late, almost 4:00 but, it was due to the fact others were changing the menu they preferred (mostly vegetarian). Still, the class was way over 3 hours so, plan your evening accordingly. Lovely new friends and a scrumptious meal!

The chef and our translator were excellent and the food was both easy to prepare as well as delicious and I would certainly recommend this course to others. I've done a few cooking classes in various countries and sadly this was the first that left me a bit flat - nothing at all to do with the venue or the people running it but with our other tour members. We were a small group, six in total, and there was a couple who very much dominated the group and even started demanding to eat the food while we were still cooking it as a group to share later. Overall - great cookery class and learnt a lot about the food culture, ingredients and how to create the dishes - sadly a bit overshadowed by our fellow trainees chefs.

Wow a great experience to cook with our family and meet new people. Both the chef and helper (translator) were very professional, fun and kind. We learned a lot about Colombian food and how to prepare a few dishes, drinks, etc. Would highly recommend.

The chef and the presenter were really fun and engaging. We met other people who love to make good food. The coconut rice - which we made from scratch, including making the coconut milk from a real coconut - was the best that I have tasted in Cartagena. And I can hardly wait to get home and make real Colombian empanadas.

Fun way to learn more about the local cuisine. We all made our own empanadas, fish and coconut rice and sat down with the group afterwards to enjoy our efforts.

So much fun! Interesting too! The cook and her helper made this a very enjoyable experience. Small class of 7 and we prepared a very traditional Colombian fish dish with coconut rice. Even empanadas and a patacone. And then we ate it! Good value of the experience and dinner

We had such a great time! We made coconut rice, patacones, empanadas and fish. The whole team were fantastic, they were so friendly and we had a blast between the dancing, cooking and didn't stop laughing almost the entire time. We really enjoyed sitting down afterwards to eat and chat with everyone. a HUGE shout out to the gentleman (I wish I could remember his name) that was training to take over the class. He was a really nice guy that after the class we ran into on the street and he saw us struggling to get a taxi and helped us out. We really appreciated that and will not forget! Good luck my friend!

The chefs were fun and we learned a lot by being involved in the preparation of each part of the meal. It was an enjoyable afternoon and was followed up by a buenisimo dinner.

Amazing experience, and so good for the price! They are amazing people and it’s basically a “free dinner” so may as well do this

Fantastic teachers, tasty dinner (don’t eat before!!!), and fun dancing. The class is small, only 5 people so you get lots of attention. I would absolutely recommend this class to a friend.
