An Unforgettable Day of Cozumel Culture and Cooking! We spent nearly four hours completely immersed in authentic Cozumel culture, and it was hands down one of the best experiences I’ve ever had. I can’t wait to bring my husband and boys back to do it, too! First stop: the local local market (not the touristy one) where we learned about which ingredients are native versus imported, how to pick the freshest produce, and did a little shopping for souvenirs. Next stop: right across the street for fresh, warm tortillas sprinkled with just a little salt. Simple, perfect, and absolutely heavenly. Final stop: the home of Jeronimo and his mother, Josefina. For three hours, we cooked, laughed, and learned together, it felt like spending the afternoon at a family member’s house. We made so much: refreshing Jamaica to drink, a “Mexican hummus” made from roasted pumpkin seeds, tomatoes, and habanero powder (I loved it so much I bought the ingredients to take home!), both red and green salsas, refried beans I’ll never make any other way again, and authentic chile rellenos, one vegetarian with patty pan squash and Oaxaca cheese, and another with ground beef. We also whipped up fresh pico de gallo, guacamole, handmade tortillas, and dragonfruit lemonade. My favorite? Squash topped with shredded cheese, a Dutch influence from a centuries-old shipwreck! We ended with snapper Veracruz made with fish Jeronimo caught that very morning. This was an incredible, heartfelt day full of stories, flavor, and connection. Jeronimo is a true gem, passionate, warm, and welcoming. If you want to experience Cozumel in the most authentic, personal way possible, this is it.

Got to experience a class with Jeronimo and Angie. It was wonderful. My brother and sisters all agreed it was our favorite excursion of our entire sibling cruise and we would love to do it again our next visit. We loved the versatility of being able to pick what we wanted to learn to cook. We loved starting at the local mercado to pick the fresh ingredients and all the knowledge that Jeronimo shared about the produce, the meats and fish, and the fresh spices. By far the best margaritas we've all ever had in our lives!! So grateful for the e-cookbook that's included. My brother got home last night and is making the food we learned to cook tonight for his family, including the agua fresca. Thank you for sharing your family's love of food with ours. We hope to be back soon!! Where do we get that hibiscus tea????

A great way to learn a ton about Mexican cooking. Jeronimo and team treated us to an excellent market visit, showed us the local tortilla factores and helped us cook Mole (our choice). We cooked many dishes and left super full of fresh flavors. Super clean and well done. A fantastic experience, well worth it.
