Do you want to discover traditional Yucatan food? In this cooking class, we'll learn how to make delicious ancestral dishes from the pre-Colombian era in a Maya village on the outskirts of Valladolid.
Activity Details
At the scheduled time, we'll meet at X-Batun, a Maya village in Yucatan found just 10 minutes by car from Valladolid.
After being welcomed by the members of the community, we'll take part in a Maya cooking class where we'll make 5 ancestral dishes using fresh ingredients to replicate the cooking methods of the pre-Colombian times.
The dishes include: tzotobichay (chaya and pumpkin seed tamale), sikil pák (pumpkin seed and tomato pasta), píbil kaa (marinated chicken wrapped in banana leaves), an encamisado (tortilla filled with meat and vegetables), and a traditional Yucatan dessert made with cacao, honey, cinnamon, and piloncillo.
After trying the dessert, we'll conclude the cooking class after a total of 3 hours.
