Traditional Costa Rican cooking class and meal with a modern twist

Join Melissa in her kitchen for a hands-on cooking class that will last for two hours. Before you start your cooking class, snack on some delicious mango salsa and then learn to cook 2-3 dishes, that might include ceviche (a seafood dish typically made from fresh raw fish cured in citrus juices), Costa Rican casado with chicken ( a tasty dish of chicken, vegetables and rice) or picadillo (a fragrant stew). After the class, sit down at Melissa's dinning table to enjoy a the meal you helped prepare.

After your cooking class, a few dishes that you might try at Melissa’s dining table or outdoor patio are casado (chicken in salsa, rice and black beans), ceviche (a seafood dish typically made from fresh raw fish cured in citrus juices), cooked sweet plantains and mango and avocado salsa.
