Meet Manu at his home before setting out for the Mercado Cinco de Diciembre, located a short 5-min walk away. Together you will browse the stalls where you will have an opportunity to experience all the sounds, smells, and colors of a traditional Mexican marketplace.
Upon returning to Manu's home, join Manu in his home kitchen to learn to prepare an authentic Mexican meal together. During your Puerto Vallarta cooking lesson, you can expect to learn how to make three dishes. Some of the dishes you might learn to cook are a fresh ceviche with the catch of the day, panela enchiladas, a unique dish made with authentic Mexican cheese, and a shrimp or octopus or mushroom al ajillo; all with traditional techniques and ingredients. You can expect to cook for about an hour before sitting down to share the meal together. If you are not a seafood fan, let Manu know a few days in advance and he can plan a menu with meat.
Manu's style of cooking is rooted in authentic Mexican cuisine, but includes influence from Asia and the Mediterranean. Immerse yourself in Mexican food and culture with a local chef!
