What dishes will we cook?

There is no fixed menu for the class. Dishes are chosen based on seasonal ingredients, local availability, and the group’s dietary preferences.

The class focuses on traditional Costa Rican home cooking. A typical lunch experience includes preparing a complete meal with dishes such as gallo pinto (rice and beans), handmade corn tortillas, and fried plantains, along with other seasonal sides.

Depending on the day and ingredients available, you may also prepare casado-style components, picadillos made with local vegetables (such as chayote or arracache), or other traditional dishes and desserts.

Exact dishes may vary, but the experience always reflects authentic Costa Rican home cooking and can be adapted for vegetarian, vegan, and other dietary needs with advance notice.
