Wonderful experience! Great food, host and my teens loved it.

Lily's home and kitchen are so welcoming and she is a wonderful host. I took my 2 teen kids and they loved the class (teens are notoriously hard to impress!). We tasted new things, learned new recipes and had a wonderful time learning from Lily as she walked us through wonderful recipes. She's a passionate and experienced educator and I recommend this event to anyone who loves to learn about food.

What a lovely experience this was. Lily is an absolute delight of a human being and is clearly very passionate about her food which was so delicious. I would maybe have liked to do a little more of the cooking part and feel that would be achievable BUT that takes nothing away from the experience, I would do it again tomorrow.

We had a wonderful time learning and cooking in Lily's beautiful home. Her assistant was super efficient and friendly, and of course, Lily, is a shining star. Each task was meticulously planned and coordinated. She shared stories and many details about Mexican history, we'll beyond cooking. Excellent hostess filled with love and joy. We cooked salsa verde, al pastor, tortillas, quesadillas, another salsa and a tomato, chili soup with queso.

What an amazing evening cooking with Lili! She really makes you feel a part of her family and all the food you get to cook is absolutely exquisite! She teaches you a lot about the history of Mexican food and where everything comes from. I can't wait to cook everything for my family at home. I highly recommend and will go again once back in Tulum! Thank -you Lili for such an amazing evening!

Lily is incredibly warm and immediately makes you feel like family. This experience was my favorite experience during all of our time in Mexico. It was so much fun, and we learned so much about Mexican culture and ate incredible food. Make sure you come hungry because you'll want to eat as much as possible!!

One of the highlights of our trip! Lily was a great host and instructor and taught our group both recipe-specific tips and fundamentals for Mexican cuisine. The entire experience is really well executed and a great balance of chatting, watching/learning, participating, hanging out, and eating and drinking. It was a nice opportunity to meet a handful of folks in a unique setting. Also! I am vegan and my partner is pescatarian. I gave Lily a few days heads up and she made tasty and substantial accommodations. You won't regret booking this class. :)

I absolutely loved my time cooking with Lily. We learned so much history behind the food we were making—which by the way, was one of the best things I’ve ever eaten. We had homemade tortillas, salsa, quesadilla, sopa, Al pastor, etc etc. If you only have a few days in Tulum, you MUST do this.

We had a fantastic time at Lily's home learning a few traditional Mexican recipes. She treated us like family, and we felt like it was one of the best parts of our vacation. She offered us beverages and a tequila tasting that was a nice addition to the main event: learning to make delicious food! She sent us the recipes via email after we got home and even gave us a tortilla holder to keep our homemade tortillas warm when try it out on our own. We would highly recommend this experience to others; it's one you won't forget.

Everything was super well organized and Lily and her team were great. Next to the cooking, Lily also provided a lot of information about the Mexican cuisine and I actually learned a lot. We also met the pets of the house, two cats and a dog, they were very cuddly. :)

Lily is such a phenomenal host, she made us all feel so welcome in her home! She is also a great story teller and quite the joker, she gets everyone involved and engaged. Go hungry because you will eat a lot of great food, and drink some yummy mezcal. I also really enjoyed meeting everyone else in the group (we were 10 people). Thanks again Lily and team, can’t wait to receive the recipes for the dishes we made.
