Authentic and charming - Absolutely loved this experience. You can tell Milton loves what he does and the authenticity was second to none. Not to mention the food is fresh as heck and you’ll learn a thing or two even as a regular cook. Highly recommend!

Milton provided us with... - Milton provided us with an unforgettable and truly unique experience. Everything was amazing from the tour of the marketplace to tasting new fruits and preparing an authentic Guatemalan meal. The cooking took place on the rooftop of Milton's family home, where we felt incredibly welcomed—plus, the view was absolutely stunning! We gained so much insight into both Guatemalan cuisine and culture, and the meal itself was simply out of this world. There's nothing quite like cooking traditional dishes from a recipe passed down through generations.

I had A BLAST! - This was my favorite part of my entire trip! The market tour is amazing, you get a deeper sense of the surrounding community and the hard work it takes to make and sell goods. Fresh fruits and veggies galore! The cooking class itself was nothing short of amazing. Gorgeous views, AMAZING food and direction from Milton and his wife, and an overall incredible experience. Milton is an expert at his craft and it was an honor to cook alongside him and his family. 1000000/10 would book again!

Unique, authentic experience! - What an incredible experience! Milton is extremely communicative (with perfect English), knowledgeable, and friendly. He picked us up from the central part of Antigua and took us to a huge local market. I think I saw maybe 2 other tourists in the whole place. We learned so much and saw beautiful displays of fruits, vegetables, and so much more. Then we took a short ride back to his family home. The rooftop is absolutely gorgeous with views of 3 volcanoes. We tried many different fruits, several of which I’ve never seen or heard of! Then we prepared a 3 course authentic Guatemalan meal. The flavors were outrageous and the experience was incredible. He even had decorated and brought out a cake for my mom’s birthday. This was a highlight of our trip and I would recommend this to anyone and everyone, regardless of age or cooking ability.

Cooking Class - I'd recommend this class, if you're in Antigua. We received a tour of the market and were able to try fruits that were in-season. We also cooked foods that were purchased at the market, so they were really fresh. Milton was very good in communicating what he wanted us to do.

Great cooking class with Milton - It was an absolutly great cooking experience with Milton. We went together to the Market, where he provided us interesring background information. By the end we bought some tropical fruits we havent seen or tasted before. Back in his house we started our cooking class together Milton and Lourdes on the amazing rooftop. He showed us how to chop, to cook, to roast and prepare the food. By the end we ate our best Tostados, Pepian and Rellenitos. We totally recommend it. Thanks a lot for this amazing experience Milton and Lourdes.

This was truly one of the... - This was truly one of the highlights of our trip! Before we even got to cooking, we loved walking through the market and learning about its significance to the community. The cooking itself was from the rooftop of Milton's family home, where we felt incredibly welcomed (and that view...wow). We learned a ton about both cooking and culture and the meal itself was just out of this world. There's nothing that beats cooking your own traditional dishes from a recipe that has been passed down through generations.
