Description
Learn to make “chillo al coco” (red snapper in coconut sauce) in a hands-on cooking class in Punta Cana. Discover Taíno cooking traditions and techniques from a local chef.
Begin your culinary journey with a convenient pickup from your hotel. Head to the cooking class venue, where you’ll meet your experienced local chef.
Start by selecting and preparing the fish, seasoning it with aromatic herbs and spices. Then, create a rich coconut sauce from freshly grated coconut milk, combining onions, garlic, and peppers to infuse bold tropical flavors.
While the sauce simmers with the fish, prepare side staples like plantains, cassava, and rice to accompany the dish.
This hands-on class is suited for all skill levels—whether you're a seasoned cook or a first-timer in the kitchen. Leave with not only a delicious meal but also a deeper understanding of Dominican and Taíno culinary heritage, techniques, and ingredient pairings.
Throughout the class, there will be opportunities to ask questions, interact with the host, and taste what you’ve made together.
