Description

Discover the vibrant flavors of Guatemalan cuisine while immersing yourself in authentic local traditions! Milton, our founder and chef, personally leads every class with pure love and passion for his heritage. First, explore Antigua's lively market together to sample exotic fruits and fresh produce—opportunities most travelers miss on their own. Afterwards, step into our cozy family home and rooftop kitchen to cook 5 authentic recipes learned directly from Milton's grandmother (3 main courses and 2 sides), all with breathtaking views of active Fuego Volcano. To maintain a warm, intimate atmosphere, groups are kept small with a maximum of 10 participants. Enjoy a personalized, hands-on experience with vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options available! No experience needed—at Foodietenango cooking is easy and fun for everyone, including kids! Whether you're a beginner or a foodie, we make sure you enjoy every single step.

Best In Antigua !

I believe this is the best cooking class. The best value and best instructor. The food was delicious, the experience was excellent. I am thankful that I choose this experience out of the many activities in Antigua . If you want a real home cooked meal, outside your home , this is the place . This is a home away from home. If you have the time please visit and support .

An Amazing Guatemalan Cooking & Market Tour!

My friend and I had an amazing time on this cooking class and market tour during our girls’ trip to Guatemala! Milton was incredibly knowledgeable about Guatemalan culture, local fruits, and traditional recipes. We loved that this is a family business that Milton runs with his sister and son… it made the experience feel so warm and personal. We explored the market, tried new ingredients, and cooked delicious food together. Highly recommend! 🇬🇹❤️

Amazing Experience

15/10 experience. I am solo tripping and this is a great activity to do. We started at the market to pick up ingredients. We learned so much about Antigua Guatemala. The class is great no matter your cooking experience. I very much recommend.

Amazing cooking class!

This cooking class was truly one of the highlights of our trip! From beginning to end, the entire experience felt so personal, authentic, and welcoming. We had the opportunity to make traditional Guatemalan dishes including pepián, rellenitos, fresh tortillas, and so much more. We also got to try a variety of incredible local fruits, which made the experience even more special. What really stood out was how knowledgeable and passionate our host was. He took the time to explain every ingredient, dish, and part of the process in such great detail, which made us appreciate the food and Guatemalan culture even more. Nothing felt rushed, and it genuinely felt like he wanted us to learn, enjoy ourselves, and experience something meaningful. Having the class inside his home made it even better. It created such a warm, comfortable, and homey atmosphere that you simply wouldn’t get from a typical cooking class. It felt less like a tourist activity and more like being welcomed into someone’s home to share a meal and learn about their culture. The food was absolutely delicious, the experience was unforgettable, and the hospitality was amazing. I would recommend this cooking class 100% to anyone visiting Guatemala who wants an authentic, personal, and memorable experience. Definitely a 10/10 and something I would happily do again!
