Marktbezoek en kookles: kook authentiek Mexicaans eten in Puerto Vallarta

We took the market tour and private cooking class with Manuel. We had a truly great time. We particularly enjoyed the market tour, as he showed us the best produce and fresh fish. The cooking demonstration and meal were wonderful as well. We had ceviche, volcanes with shrimp, and a taste of his mezcal. The food, drink, and conversation were all delightful! We did think that we would be more involved in the cooking (it’s really more of an interactive cooking show). Nevertheless, we feel like we got a lot of good information and cooking tips, and Manuel said he would send us all the recipes. Also, we really appreciated his recommendations of other places in PV to try for tacos and dessert. Our biggest regret was not booking this class earlier in our stay, as it would have been nice to work through all his recommendations. Overall, a highly recommended experience!

This was one of the nicest experiences we have enjoyed anywhere. Began at a local market that had a variety of fresh daily catch seafood. We chose the sea bass and octopus. Also a variety of local fresh fruits and vegetables at the market. Then Manu took us to his home where he demonstrated his skill in preparing the food with instructions of how and why he prepped the food as he did. It was delicious and insightful experience. Note…The taxi from the pier will cost double or triple instead walk another few steps to the street and hail one there.

The market was such a wonderful experience! Watching Manu interact with the shopkeepers and discussing the fresh fish for our ceviche was very cool. The lesson on the peppers was much appreciated. Food was great, we plan on booking with Manu again, next year.
