Learn to Cook Ecuadorian Dishes with El Nomad Immersion Programs, Ecuador
Every Tuesday learn to cook traditional Ecuadorian dishes in the El Nomad Immersion Programs center in Cuenca, Ecuador!
Classes are instructed in Spanish by Maestra Chelita, but a translator will be on hand to help those who need English instruction. Each class will end with enjoying the food you have learned to cook and a cup of Ecuadorian grown coffee (or tea if you perfer), and great conversation (an excellent opportunity for you to practice your Spanish!).
A pdf with instructions in both English and Spanish will be emailed to you after each class so you have the recipes to work from.
