Traditional Ecuadorian Cooking Class in Quito in a Local Home
Enjoy a private and authentic cooking class in a local home with your host Maria, a warm and wonderful host who uses family recipes in most of her dishes. This is a perfect experience for anyone looking to connect with the local culture over food. Maria’s passion for food started young, when she was a cooking assistant in her mother's kitchen! Maria learned to cook traditional meals from her mother. And then used this skill and knowledge to run her own restaurant, where she served authentic Ecuadorian meals that she grew up eating. For the last 21 years, Maria has been working in the hospitality and gastronomy industry.
