This authentic culinary experience offers a unique opportunity to discover Ecuadorian cuisine through the eyes of the people who prepare it every day. Together with your hosts, you'll create a traditional homemade lunch featuring three classic courses: a starter, a main dish, and a dessert, each highlighting fresh local ingredients and family recipes passed down through generations.
As you cook, you'll learn about Ecuador's culinary traditions, the stories behind each dish, and the importance of sharing food as part of everyday family life. Once everything is ready, sit down with your hosts to enjoy the meal you've prepared together in a warm and welcoming atmosphere.
