Amazing experience in Bogota with Chef Christina! From moment stepped into her kitchen was well taken care of. I was taught how to make so many new dishes using some new local and some common ingredients in different ways. We learned the Spanish pronunciation of all the items we were cooking and even learned how some of them made it to Colombia. The whole class was laid back and fun. Would recommend this to anyone that wants to learn more about Colombian culture!

Great experience with Cristina , she was amazing and very knowledgeable about the food that we cook. Definitely recommend
What a lovely afternoon creating authentic Colombian dishes with a fabulous chef who is as knowledgeable about cooking as she is about Colombian history. Spending an afternoon with Cristina was one of our highlights of our trip to Bogota and Cartagena. Highly recommend this experience to all!!
Cristina provided an enjoyable, energetic, and educational experience that I highly recommend. She's an amazing chef and the food was delicious.
Christina was an excellent Chef and guide to our Colombian cooking experience. We made a selection of delicious dishes with fresh ingredients. She was also super accommodating to one of us who was vegan - the alternatives were delicious. Excellent class!
Christina was amazing. Two of us and I’m vegan and she adjusted for us both, I also don’t eat onion or garlic and she didn’t miss a beat. A day of fun, good music and better food. Delicious, informative and fun.
10/10 experience with Cristina. Had 5 full courses and left with a full belly. Was good hearing about the food history and she really knew her stuff about ingredients.
This was a delicious experience! Chef Christina was not only very talented but was also so engaging as she introduced my daughter and me to authentic Colombian and Caribbean cooking. We loved getting our hands dirty prepping and making empanadas and patacones ourselves — such fun! From flavorful appetizers to a perfect dessert, every dish was absolutely tasty! The variety and fresh flavors made it unforgettable. Highly recommend this cooking class if you’re in Bogotá and want to dive into local cuisine!
I had an absolutely fantastic 4.5-hour Colombian cooking class in Bogotá, and it turned out to be one of the highlights of my time in Colombia. The experience started with a visit in a homely atmosphere, where we learned about traditional Colombian ingredients, fruits, herbs, and spices. As someone who enjoys learning about local culture through food, this was fascinating. Our instructor Christina👍 was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and passionate about Colombian cuisine, making the entire experience both educational and enjoyable. Back in the kitchen, we prepared several authentic Colombian dishes from scratch. Every step was explained clearly, and I appreciated how hands-on the class was. Even with participants of different cooking abilities, everyone felt comfortable and involved. I learned techniques, cooking tips, and cultural stories behind each dish that I would never have discovered on my own. What made the experience especially memorable was the warm and friendly atmosphere. It felt less like a class and more like cooking with friends. Sharing the meal we had prepared together was the perfect ending to an amazing afternoon. As a traveler who has taken cooking classes in different countries, I can honestly say this was one of the best. It offered much more than recipes—it provided genuine insight into Colombian culture, traditions, and hospitality. I highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Bogotá. Whether you're a food lover, a curious traveler, or simply looking for a unique cultural activity, this cooking class is worth every minute. Thank you Christina 😊 for creating such a memorable experience. I will definitely be recreating these dishes when I return home!
If you want to really explore the deep colombian culture through food this is the best way. During the class you have the chance to learn about ingredients, stories, tastes, people in a very intense way. You understand the beauty and the importance of the culinary culture in Colombia and more. Last but not least, the food was super good and the host creates a beautiful and interesting atmosphere, you can taste the passion. Thanks
This was the best cooking class experience I’ve ever had. Christina is definitely the best chef. She did not only teach us how to cook but also explain the basics and techniques. She has extensive knowledge of food history so I have learned so many new things. I would definitely recommend her!
A great way to spend an afternoon in Bogota! It was like cooking with a friend, lots of laughs and now I can cook some of my favourite Colombian food. Highly recommend for something different to do in Bogota.
Christina was very welcoming and encourging. While learning the dishes she explain the origen of the dishes as well. I had a great Time AND would highly recommend.
It was a truly special evening. The host was wonderful, empathetic, attentive to every detail, and had a warmth that made everyone feel very welcome. The food was delicious, prepared with great care, good ingredients, and excellent flavor. Additionally, sharing with such a pleasant group, full of good energy, laughter, and interesting conversations, made the night even more memorable. Thank you for creating such a cozy space and for giving us such a beautiful experience. Indeed, it is worth having this experience.
