プエルト・ビエホ・デ・タラマンカでのプライベート・ネイティブ・カリビアン・クッキング

Great can you send me the recipe for the meal to darcyturgeon@gmail.com thanks

We had a superb evening, and our group was great. The meal explained and prepared by Josefina was excellent! I recommend the experience.

such an amazing experience! josephine talked about the history of puerto viejo and the culture of the town while she was cooking dinner for us. the food was outstanding!

EXCELLENT - EXCELLENT - EXCELLENT experience. Josefina fixed one of, if not the best meal, we have had in Puerto Viejo. Her chicken is outstanding and the sauce she prepared was “over the top!” She should have her own show on the Food Channel. Also, absolutely the best rice and beans my wife and I have ever been served. Josefina also tells you the true, unvarnished history of this area and the development of the culture. DO THIS COOKING CLASS!

Having dinner with Josefina is definitely worth it! I loved the experience and being able to see and be apart of the culture for a couple hours. Being apart of a small group was nice too. I also enjoyed learning about the history. I’d highly recommend booking!

Josefina is amazing, this activity was truly a gem! We had so much fun, learned so much about the history of Puerto Viejo and ate some excellent food! The food was comforting, savoury, flavourful, etc. I would recommend this to everyone!!

This is something we would normally never have done, it felt a little too personal. But I had just gone into remission from breast cancer, and this trip was all about doing things outside my comfort zone. I had booked this experience earlier in the trip, but it ended up being postponed until our last night in PV. In hindsight, I’m so glad it worked out that way. It became our favorite experience of the entire trip and the perfect way to end our time in Costa Rica & that says a lot, because we had so many wonderful experiences along the way. Josephina is absolutely lovely and makes you feel completely at home in her house. She is warm, engaging, and so generous in sharing her family’s history in Costa Rica, as well as fascinating stories about the development of the area. She has a wonderful way of making you feel welcome and connected to the place. I found it all thoroughly fascinating and loved getting a glimpse into both her family and the community. The dinner was delicious (chicken, rice & beans, plantains, salad, two different drinks and desert) and we both absolutely loved all of it. She shared the recipe and we hope to try it ourselves in the next week or so. She had a group of 8, including us, and everyone was quite lovely and I think everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves. For me, this experience was about much more than simply trying something outside my comfort zone. It was a beautiful and meaningful way to celebrate this new chapter, and I’m so grateful we had the opportunity to experience it.

Wonderful experience! The food was absolutely amazing, some of the best food I've ever had, and I eat a lot of great food. Josefina was such a great host, we all loved hearing the history of Costa Rica's Caribbean coast and of her family. She was fun, funny, and an amazing chef. Equally great were the other 3 individuals who were there as well - everyone was so interesting and had such great travel stories to tell, and despite our vast differences (age, race, location, birthplace) we all had links to each other in one way or another which made for such a delightful night. Also much love to the kitties who said hi :) As others noted, this is more of a cooking demonstration/cultural experience versus a cooking class per se, but we got the recipe after we left, and we made the rice and beans for dinner. Granted, not nearly as good as the chef herself, but we were proud and excited to be able to relive our experience again at home. Definitely recommend! Good luck on your new kitchen Josefina, hope to see it when we return :)

Lovely evening, great food and company. Lovved hearing about life in peurto viejo through the years. Highly recomended.

We booked this cooking class expecting to chop and stir alongside the host, but it turned into something even better. Instead of cooking ourselves, we sat around Josefina's bar and watched her work, and it felt less like a class and more like being welcomed into a family member's home. Josefina was a wonderful host from start to finish. As she cooked, she shared tips and tricks along the way, but what really made the experience special was hearing her family's history and learning about Puerto Viejo itself. Its culture, its roots, and what makes the area so unique. It gave the whole evening a depth we weren't expecting. She sent us home with the recipes afterward, so we can try recreating the dishes ourselves. It was a genuinely wonderful, heartfelt experience, and one I would happily do all over again.
