Cần Quan Tâm

Begin your Puerto Rican culinary journey with a cocktail and a tour of Tony's Victorian Creole home (and B&B). What makes Tony's home special are the walls adorned with original art nouveau paintings from 1912. It might be the only home in the region with original paintings from handmade stencils on wood. Next, join Tony in his kitchen for your Puerto Rican cooking class with a modern twist on traditional Puerto Rican cuisine. You will learn to cook three seasonal Puerto Rican dishes with locally sourced ingredients from Tony's garden or the local markets. Some of the dishes you might learn to cook are rice fritters with a creative guava sauce, a traditional stew or chayote escabeche, a local squash packed with antioxidants marinated in citrus and olive oil. Please note this is only a sample menu - Tony likes to cook based on what's fresh in the market and is happy to customize a menu for you. After cooking, enjoy your meal on the terrace with a view of the garden (weather permitting) or at the main dining area with a glass of sangria or beer. Please note that your meal may be supplemented with additional dishes that Tony has prepared in advance.

This cooking class in San Germán is honestly one of those experiences you keep thinking about long after it’s over. It feels less like a class and more like being welcomed into someone’s home, which makes sense since it’s set in this gorgeous historic house full of character and charm. Tony, who is both the cooking instructor and the owner of the bed and breakfast where the class takes place, really makes the whole experience. He has this easygoing, welcoming style that instantly puts everyone at ease. You can tell he genuinely loves what he does. One thing that really stood out is how he asks about your food preferences ahead of time and actually builds the menu with you, which makes the whole experience feel personal right from the start. He explains everything clearly without making it feel technical or overwhelming, and he mixes in stories about Puerto Rican food and culture that make it all feel more meaningful. You’re not just following a recipe, you actually understand what you’re making. The food is incredible. Everything is fresh, flavorful, and just feels thoughtfully put together. There’s a great mix of traditional Puerto Rican dishes and modern touches, so it stays interesting the whole time. And sitting down to enjoy everything at the end together is easily one of the best parts. The setting really pushes it over the top. Being in a historic home that also doubles as his bed and breakfast makes it feel intimate and authentic in a way a typical cooking class just can’t match. If you’re even remotely into food or just want a unique experience, this is absolutely worth it. It’s fun, welcoming, and just really, really good.

This was the highlight of our trip to Puerto Rico! Tony was great. He asked why I would like to cook and of course I had to choose alcalpurrias& tembleque. He also showed us how to make arroz blanco con habichuelas y caldo de cerdo. Everything tasted great!! I love cooking and I can’t wait to make this for my friends and family! Tony shared so much history and information. He was funny and entertaining. His bed and breakfast is beautiful and historic. We ate on the patio and it was so cute! Everything was so great and so much more than I expected! When we come back to Puerto Rico I would love to take another class. Hands on is so much better than just looking at a recipe! I HD to give myself props because I already knew how to make achiote oil and sofrito but I learned so much. My husband also loved it. He helped cut the plantains and the root and we both made the alcalpurrias. It was definitely an amazing experience and my favorite part of Puerto Rico!

I cannot rave enough about our PR Cooking Class in Tony's beautifully restored historic B&B. We felt so welcomed! Tony is warm, charming, and funny. Some of us cooked with him and others chose to enjoy the beautiful surroundings. The food was next level delicious—real PR flavors and recipes, as I had requested in advance. We had the loveliest evening and couldn't stop talking about it for days. It was my husband's favorite part of our trip. Don't hesitate to book this!! A unique and unforgettable experience.

Cooking with Tony was a delightful experience! Not only did we get to help prepare and cook several PR dishes, but Tony gave us background about the dishes as well as the herbs and spices that we used. And the food we cooked was delicious. Now if I can only recreate some of them. Tony also gave us a tour of the B&B which is a beautifully maintained home. It would be great to stay there if I were in PR again.
Such an amazing experience

Tony explained the spices used in Puerto Rico and gave us history along the way while we learned to make authentic PR food. It was an experience we will never forget. Beautiful BNB that we will look to book next time we visit.

What are great experience all around! Tony was an excellent guide and was more than happy to help try recreate something recipes I only hadn’t vague descriptions for. He’s very talented with his abilities in both the kitchen and conversation. Don’t hesitate when booking your lessons with him!

We had a beautiful lunch with Tony at his historic bed-and-breakfast. He made us authentic Puerto Rican food and showed us all about different spices, and techniques for cooking. We were able to get in the kitchen and do hands-on prep and cooking. Lots of good suggestions and very informative on historical area of San Germane. He went above and beyond making a salad and dessert that we did not ask for. Very accommodating and well worth the price.
Delightful cooking class and experience!
