Yum Cooking Workshop - 77509 Cancún

I would give more stars if I could. This experience with Chef Andres exceeded my expectations! The Chef explained with passion a lot of aspects of Mexican culture, his welcoming was excellent and we enjoyed his cuisine so much! The tasting part was also super interesting: I did not know all the differences between Mezcal, Tequila and the way to enjoy it. I will definitely plan a Tequila party with my friends as soon as I’m back in France. I recommend this class %100! Our best experience in Cancun, authentic and far from the touristy hotel zone.

Our girl's group had an amazing day with Chef Andres! He is so personable and you can feel the joy he has for cooking. This is very much an interactive experience. It is light and fun. He teaches the history/origin of the dishes he prepares. The mezcal and tequila tasting were very informative. When I am back in Cancun I will definitely look him up and book again. If you are looking for a more authentic experience, this is the obvious choice.

This was an amazing class with great food and drinks. Andrés made the cooking class such a fun experience! He provided interesting information and recipes. The tequila and mezcal tasting and pairing was awesome, and the food was all delicious. This class was definitely a highlight of our trip, and I would recommend this experience to anyone. Thanks, Andrés!

Staying at a resort in Cancún, México? Get out and spend a day at Yum Cooking Workshop with Chef Andres! This was by far the highlight our week vacation in Cancún. Staying at a resort has its perks, but let’s face it, they often lack the experience of authentic culture of the area. A day of Chef Andres’ cooking workshop is a perfect way to get a little taste of the Mexican culture. Chef Andres takes you through various courses of traditional recipes, providing a rich history of each dish. Along the way we got to enjoy taking part in preparing some of the dishes such as salsa and empanadas. The tequila and mezcal tasting was a fantastic break, learning more about the history of these spirits, from an impassioned Chef Andres. The pairings with the tequila and mezcal such as pineapple, oranges, limes, chocolate, and chili powder mix were really enjoyable, especially exploring different ways to pair each with the different tequilas. The hospitality and the food were incredible. We loved everything about this unique experience and would highly recommend Yum Cooking Workshop. Getting to the workshop was no problem for the taxi driver, and Chef Andres was very responsive.

This is by far one of the best cooking classes we've attended. Chef Andres and his assistant are the most accommodating and professional team making this hands-on class very informative, fun and well worth the cost and time. Learning about mezcal and tequila was new to us and provided great insight into an unknown. I highly recommend this class, you'll leave the class and head straight to the supermarket to buy all of the ingredients to replicate the techniques and flavors in your own kitchen....that's what we did. Thank you Andres, we look forward to our next class in your kitchen.

5 of us were able to spend 4+ hours with Chef Andrés on April 1, 2022. Not only did I learn some of the Chef's techniques, but the food that we got to eat was absolutely fabulous. The desert was the Tequila Pears, the recipe is posted on Chef Andrés website, what a wonderful desert and with very simple ingredients. If you enjoy learning and smelling food as it is being prepared this will be a great experience for you.

I just went to the Yum Cooking Workshop, we did Taco Tuesday. This cooking class was probably the best I've ever been to. The chef Andres, was personal, genuine, and knowledgable. It was intimate and personalized cooking class. I would highly recommend. His tacos were amazing and he really went into depth about ingredients and techniques, what an amazing experience.

Amazing experience! 10/10 recommend. Chef Andrés was so kind, knowledgeable and patient throughout the entire course of the class. I was blown away by how simple ingredients created such powerful and complex flavors. I left with so much more understanding behind recipes and mezcal/tequila. Definitely a highlight from our entire vacation here in Cancún. I will definitely be using many of these recipes when I am home!
