Each dish reflects the harmony between Mayan-inspired cuisine and the finest seasonal ingredients available locally.

  • Cultural context and storytelling behind each recipe

  • Live Q&A with Chef Sebastian

  • A shared meal to close the experience

  • All ingredients and materials included

  • Mason jars provided so you can take home what you’ve made
