-
This is a unique opportunity to visit the home of a local and explore traditional culture and cuisine. Visit a local market with Isi and discover local and seasonal produce and ingredients used in Filipino cooking. After exploring the market, ride in Isi's car to her home for your cooking class. First Isi will walk you through her small vegetable garden where she grows lemongrass and calamansi, a distinctive Filipino citrus fruit that she uses to flavor her food. Isi's food is redolent of flavors such as calamansi, garlic, chilies, coconut milk and fish sauce. In her kitchen she will teach you to prepare Filipino family recipes that have been passed down through the generations. You can choose between a hands-on lesson and a cooking demonstration during which you will watch her prepare the meal. Just let her know your preference! After cooking, enjoy the authentic Filipino meal you helped prepare with this warm and fun-loving host at her dining table. Your menu includes a variety of homemade Filipino dishes and concludes with a dessert like calamansi pie.
