Highlights
Discover the vibrant flavors of Guatemalan cuisine while immersing yourself in authentic local traditions! Milton, our founder and chef, personally leads every class with pure love and passion for his heritage. First, explore Antigua's lively market together to sample exotic fruits and fresh produce—opportunities most travelers miss on their own. Afterwards, step into our cozy family home and rooftop kitchen to cook 5 authentic recipes learned directly from Milton's grandmother (3 main courses and 2 sides), all with breathtaking views of active Fuego Volcano. To maintain a warm, intimate atmosphere, groups are kept small with a maximum of 10 participants. Enjoy a personalized, hands-on experience with vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options available! No experience needed—at Foodietenango cooking is easy and fun for everyone, including kids! Whether you're a beginner or a foodie, we make sure you enjoy every single step.

5Great class with excellent chef and location
This was a fantastic experience. Milton took us thru the Antigua market which is huge, educating us on food and local produce. Once we bought our ingredients we traveled to the school: a gorgeous open kitchen and proceeded to prepare a three course meal of traditional Guatemalan dishes. We also sampled 7 local fruits that were in season. Milton was an excellent teacher and provided lots of information as we worked. The class is intimate: only 4 of us. I highly recommend this class to anyone who wants to learn about Guatrmalan culture through food. We had a blast!
5Best cooking class in Guatemala

5Best In Antigua !
I believe this is the best cooking class. The best value and best instructor. The food was delicious, the experience was excellent. I am thankful that I choose this experience out of the many activities in Antigua . If you want a real home cooked meal, outside your home , this is the place . This is a home away from home. If you have the time please visit and support .

About Antigua
Antigua Guatemala is a colonial city of cobbled streets, ruined churches and pastel façades, ringed by three volcanoes in the Guatemalan highlands.
Antigua was the capital of Spanish Guatemala until earthquakes in 1773 led to the move of the government to the present capital. The grid of cobbled streets and low colonial houses survived, together with the ruins of grand churches and convents, and the town is a UNESCO World Heritage site. The yellow Santa Catalina Arch, with its clock tower, frames Volcán de Agua at the end of a street.
Top-ranked sights in Antigua: Antigua Central Park (Parque Central), Cerro de la Cruz (Hill of the Cross), La Merced Church (Iglesia de la Merced).
