Fun cooking class with 5 dishes. They accommodated vegetarian dishes well. We went to a wet market first, and then cooked together. Perla was a great guide — perfect English and kept us on schedule well. The final meal was just average, but the experience was worthwhile.
Great way to connect with local culture

The cooking class was great! I'm a vegetarian. When we arrived, they asked about our dietary needs. I was able to cook typical dishes adapted to my diet, and they were absolutely delicious. Perle is a very good teacher and explains all the steps clearly. We had a wonderful time and left happy with full stomachs ;)!
