Mexican Cuisine Workshop & Tasting
As an excursion from our Carnival Dream cruise, we took the Mexican Cusine Cooking and Tasting Workshop at the Playa Mia Grand Beach Park in Cozumel Mexico. We totally enjoyed the class and plan on returning. Chef Luis made the class. The first lesson was on how to wash our hands. We each made Caramelized Plaintains, Devil Style Shrimp Sopas and Tamarind Grouper Fillet. We timed the cooking times by counting backwards in Spanish, by singing various Spanish songs or by repeating the verses of La Cucaracha
La cucaracha, la cucaracha, |
ya no puede caminar |
porque le falta, porque no tiene |
las dos patitas de atrás. |
Chef Luis conpletely made the class exciting and entertaining
This video is from Youtube. Apparently, the recipes are not the same. Therefore, I want to return for the next three recipes.

In addition to cooking, we learned how to present the plate. First, we had to put our names on the plates. This was done with a flour, water and food coloring paste. The plates would be given to us in the upstairs dining room overlooking the Caribbean Sea. Each cook had to eat his or her own cooking.
