Enjoy amazing views of Volcano Arenal in a “Pura Vida” atmosphere while preparing and tasting your newest culinary creations. The class is located in a gorgeous professional kitchen overlooking the rainforest. You will learn Scott’s personal recipes, techniques, get to participate in the creation of them, and of course sit down to enjoy the fruits of your labor.

Very pleasant way to spend a rainy day. Chef Scott was laid back and informative and the food was delicious! Would go back again.

Costa Rica Cooking class. We made mojitos, pork empanadas, ceviche and banana flambé
Scott the owner is a delight. He gave us each tips on knife skills and cooking. We had SO much food!
(There was a lady in our class that is Muslim and doesn’t eat pork or fish. He accommodated her dietary restrictions.) It was a fun and informative class. Do this!
Before we left, we visited his puppy rescue on site. It made us so happy!

What a great experience with Chef Scott and team! We were graciously welcomed upon arrival and even had the opportunity to meet some of the four legged friends from the rescue. Chef Scott provided great tutorials on how basic knife skills for the whole family, including our 9 year old daughter. The recipes were all incredibly tasty and we left with plenty of leftovers to get us through our 3 hour drive to Monteverde. Highly recommend this if you're in the La Fortuna area.

Taking the Ceviche & Empanadas cooking class with Chef Scott and his team was a blast! It was a pleasure to learn in his thoughtfully curated space — everyone in our group took away new lessons learned from this experience, regardless of our varying levels of cooking expertise that we came to the class with. As a bonus, we even spotted a toucan!
Scott was super fun, informative, and incredibly patient with our class — he adapted so well to the young children that the other attending family brought along.
All of the food and drink we consumed was so delicious! As soon as my husband and I returned home, we made Pico de Gallo & empanadas of our own. I definitely plan to make ceviche next!

This is a must do in La Fortuna. The space is breathtaking (we saw multiple toucans right in the trees around us) on a second story kitchen area. Scott is an amazing chef and instructor. We learned how to make Costa Rican mojitos, guacamole, ceviche, chicken empanadas. A special banana flambé for dessert- perfection. He also has a dog rescue on the property which made it even more fun. My husband even loved it and he doesn’t normally enjoy cooking! Thank you Scott!

This class was a blast! Chef Scott was very likable and knowledgable about cooking in general and Costa Rican food in particular. The empanadas we made were delicious and we had enough to take home for later!
The setting was particularly gorgeous with the classes being above the restaurant in the jungle. Chef Scott also runs a dog rescue on site so we had plenty of furry friends to help out in the kitchen!
I highly recommend this class if you are interesting in food and want to learn some basics about Central American food.

The class and the food was amazing! Chef Scott was patient and super nice. I would highly recommend adding this to your itinerary! My sister and I took the class to learn how to make empanadas but learned so much more. Chef Scott you Rock!

On Christmas, my husband, 19 y.o. son, and I took this class with Scott and had a wonderful time. We started off with making mojitos, moved to ceviche, guacamole, pico de gallo, and empanadas. We had bananas flambe and ice cream for dessert. Scott's tips and instructions were useful and will last way beyond the class. The class took place in a lovely room with panoramic views that include the volcano. After our meal, we got to play with half a dozen of the dogs that Scott fosters at his dog rescue. Such a lovely experience.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! Scott and this cooking class were amazing! A standard we will now hold all other cooking classes to. He tailored it to our tastes and dietary restrictions without any issue. The best part is how reproducible our menu was - we’ll be able to take amazing local cuisine back home with us!! And the mojitos were so fresh and fun to make. We even learned basic dicing and cutting techniques we can use in the kitchen daily. We finished in time to have a full afternoon of activities as well. Highly recommend.
