Your host Sofia
Born in Mérida, Sofia delights in preparing local Yucatecan and Mayan dishes that showcase the cultural heritage of the Yucatán Peninsula. An accomplished home-cook, Sofia learned to cook from her mother and grandmother and says the talent runs in the family. Yucatecan cuisine has been influenced by a variety of cultures, from the indigenous Mayan people, to the Spanish colonizers, to the Dutch and Lebanese who migrated to the region. Sofia prepares traditional Yucatecan dishes such as sopa de lima (a light and refreshing, traditional chicken soup accented with lime), panuchos (black bean filled tostadas), sikil pak con tostadas (traditional dip made from ground pumpkin seeds, served with tortilla chips) and Yucatecan tamales wrapped in banana leaves. Sofia is excited to share her culture through food and offer the best Mexican online cooking class experience.

Howard
"Sofia was terrific.. She was more concerned with our creation coming out fantastic then the time constraints of the class, willing to go over if needed. She gave great tips on not just how to follow the recipe, but techniques that can be used in many other cooking exercises. Strongly recommend"
Lisa
"I loved my class. My son bought me a gift card for Christmas and I wanted to share the meal with him. I was able to make a wonderful Father’s Day dinner for him, my husband and my father in law. Sofia was wonderful. She was very kind and helpful. I guess it was also Father’s Day in Mexico, so she took the time from her family to help me make a delicious meal for my family. The meal was very fun to make and the food was delicious. It was the perfect dish on a hot summer day. I plan to make the taco de pastor for my family again. Thank you for providing this wonderful service. It was a wonderful experience that I plan to use again. I will recommend you company and Sofia to my friends. "

"Sofia is fantastic! My partner and I took her tacos al pastor class and really enjoyed it. The food we made was fantastic, and the class was well-paced. We also asked her to make tortillas with us, and she spent a lot of time helping us troubleshoot and get it working on our specific stove. I would highly recommend her as an instructor!"
Anne-Marie
"Truly authentic experience. It was not something you could learn from a recipe book. Great fun too."
Sally
"Our afternoon with Sofía was very fun - she expertly guided us through the preparation of delicious tacos! It was wonderful to be able to have a taste of Mexico during this time when we can’t travel."
