Playa del Carmen · Private
Chef Alma's Playa del Carmen kitchen, reserved for your group: a three-course Mexican meal cooked from scratch together, for 4 to 10 guests.
About this class
The private version of Chef Alma's Playa del Carmen class keeps the warmth of the public class and adds the flexibility a group needs: your own timing, your own table and a three-course menu agreed in advance.
You cook everything together — tortillas, salsas, sides and a main — and then eat the three courses at Alma's table. It is a good fit for families with children, friend groups, birthdays and small corporate dinners, and it can be vegetarian or adjusted for allergies.
Private classes run for 4 to 10 guests and need 72 hours' notice for a refund.

Reviews
“Alma made the experience especially memorable, and you can tell how much passion she has for sharing her knowledge and bringing people together. We would wholeheartedly recommend Cookin' Playa!”
“An absolute highlight of our trip to Playa del Carmen. Alma was incredibly warm, welcoming, and engaging, and she created such a fun, relaxed atmosphere that we immediately felt at home. We laughed, connected, learned about the history and culture of the region.”
“Such a great day, time flew by as we learned lots about Mexican markets, shopping tips, visited a tortillaria and saw the process of turning corn into the staple food used by most Mexican dishes. The cooking experience was hands on and very educational.”
