5.00We had a great time during this cooking class! Stevenson takes the time to explain each step with passion and pedagogy, which makes the experience truly enjoyable. We learn a lot, we laugh, and above all... we feast at the end! 😄 I highly recommend! Mauruuru again for this beautiful experience! Salomé & Clementine

5.00Our morning cooking with Stevenson and Tianu was an experience we won't forget. From learning about the history of Mo'orea and the sustainability of the island to seeing how the products we used were grown right outside the lab made it the perfect experience on a rainy day. The dishes we prepared were traditional to the island and delicious. We were hands on the entire time and enjoyed every minute. We highly recommend this for everyone whether you are an experienced cook or not.

5.00Best cooking class. We learned to make all local foods like the passion crue, bread wrapped in banana leaves, coconut chips, and grilled tuna with local sauces. Was fun and best meal since we arrived. Worth every penny.
Informative and tasty

5.00We learned about the food the Polynesia people grow and how they cook the food traditionally. We learned to identify the different plants in the garden.
