About the Experience
Step into the heart of Canarian culture through an immersive, hands-on culinary workshop that brings tradition to life.
This experience is all about flavor, storytelling, and community – a perfect blend for curious travelers who want to go beyond simply tasting local food and instead create it themselves.
You’ll cook with the island’s most iconic ingredients: sun-ripened tomatoes, creamy local cheeses, artisanal gofio, spicy mojo picón, and even fresh octopus, all sourced from small local producers. Under the guidance of passionate food experts, you’ll learn the secrets behind traditional recipes passed down through generations.
As you chop, mix, grill, and taste, you’ll uncover the stories, legends, and cultural roots that make Canarian cuisine so unique. And of course, you’ll enjoy every bite – paired with a refreshing local beer or a non-alcoholic drink.
Warm atmosphere, good food, great company – this workshop turns cooking into a cultural journey you’ll remember long after your trip.
