Susimar was an amazing host! We made buñuelos, bugambilia, an herb salad, coconut pumpkin soup, and apastelado. The description said we would only make three dishes but Susimar went out of her way to teach us how to make 5 dishes with in-season ingredients from her farm. Susimar was kind and we got along well. She provided slides with recipes and health facts for each dish. I would recommend this tour to anyone who wants to have a wonderful cooking experience!

Thank you, Viviana, for your warmth, hospitality, and passion for Puerto Rican cooking! It was our first at-home cooking experience while traveling and we are so thankful to Viviana for opening up her bright, cheerful home to us. The kitchen workshop had more than enough space and we enjoyed learning about the history, culture, and flavors of comida criolla. The process was so smooth-sailing, with a menu based on our preferences and room for a bit of improvisation as well. It was such a treat to share these dishes over the dining table and to have so much food that we were able to enjoy leftovers! It really felt like a bit of home away from home.

This cooking class in San Germán is honestly one of those experiences you keep thinking about long after it’s over. It feels less like a class and more like being welcomed into someone’s home, which makes sense since it’s set in this gorgeous historic house full of character and charm. Tony, who is both the cooking instructor and the owner of the bed and breakfast where the class takes place, really makes the whole experience. He has this easygoing, welcoming style that instantly puts everyone at ease. You can tell he genuinely loves what he does. One thing that really stood out is how he asks about your food preferences ahead of time and actually builds the menu with you, which makes the whole experience feel personal right from the start. He explains everything clearly without making it feel technical or overwhelming, and he mixes in stories about Puerto Rican food and culture that make it all feel more meaningful. You’re not just following a recipe, you actually understand what you’re making. The food is incredible. Everything is fresh, flavorful, and just feels thoughtfully put together. There’s a great mix of traditional Puerto Rican dishes and modern touches, so it stays interesting the whole time. And sitting down to enjoy everything at the end together is easily one of the best parts. The setting really pushes it over the top. Being in a historic home that also doubles as his bed and breakfast makes it feel intimate and authentic in a way a typical cooking class just can’t match. If you’re even remotely into food or just want a unique experience, this is absolutely worth it. It’s fun, welcoming, and just really, really good.

Yeira was amazing! It was a 10/10 experience. This was definitely a highlight of our trip! We learned about Puerto Rican cultural dishes right in her home. She was high energy, incorporated great connecting activities, she is very knowledgeable and fun! The food was delicious and our students loved the learning experience and that it was so hands on! This was a 10/10 experience and Yeira and her team were PHENOMENAL!!!"

We had an absolutely amazing experience with Yeira! It was beyond incredible! She uses all fresh ingredients and showed us not only how to cook the recipes that we were making, but to have fun in the kitchen with each other. This is great for couples, families, or friends who are traveling together. It is all about connecting with each other through cooking. She even has a website where she shares more about that and the experiences called Cooknnecting. Everything tasted out of this world...and Yeira kept saying that we were the ones who made it! It was such a homey feel and was exactly what we were hoping for. It's a must do!

Excellent experience! The food was amazing, the host was awesome and he's home had stunning views. Book the class you will love it.
