Before commencing the cooking session, guests will be given a brief introduction to Filipino cooking history. Then, they will prepare spices and herbs for the dishes, while a Filipino dessert made of local seasonal fruits will be prepared while waiting for the food to be cooked on charcoal. Guests can also take a refreshing dip on the beach as they wait for the food to cook. Once the food is cooked, guests will savor each dish they have prepared. After the cooking class, an email containing all the pictures taken during the session, along with the recipes, will be sent to the guests, allowing them to replicate their favorite dishes back home. The cooking class will take place in front of a stunning beach, and guests are welcome to swim. This activity is a minimum of 2 people.

We went in March of 2023 My review is way past due but this was a great beach side experience and the food we made was delicious. In fact we need that chicken adobe recipe and some bamboo. I recommend in Cebu this is a must do.
Super fun cooking experience!

This is an experience you do not want to miss. Our guide, Lerelei, was excellent, and the food was absolutely outstanding. Lot of fun cooking and you get to take a swim while the food is cooking in the bamboo.
Awesome Immersive Experience

Lorilie was an excellent hostess and met me at the entrance to the public beach the cooking class is held on. She also help make arrangements for transport back to my hotel after the class. The class it’s self was very informative and fun. She covered a bit of the history of the Philippine art of cooking using fresh bamboo. The class is held on a public beach and close to where we were set up there was a wonderful Philippine family who were celebrating a birthday party and invited me to join. This was an unexpected bonus that really made the cooking class a real immersive experience. Lorilie patiently walk me through the prep and cooking process and the dishes turned out amazingly well. This is one of the highlight experiences of my Cebu trip. Book it and cook it. You will be glad you did.
