Traveler Reviews
Cooking with Doña Marlene was the highlight of my three months in South America. I came for a class and left feeling like part of the family. The salteñas were life-changing!
Not a touristy class — a real, intimate experience in a real Bolivian home. We went to the market, we ground the spices by hand, we ate together. Pure magic.
I booked the private experience for my partner and me. They made us feel so welcome. Full stomachs, recipes to take home, and new friends. 10/10!
