The hands-on cooking classes we provide at Hacienda El Porvenir, are suitable for amateurs, families and guests in general who want to experience regional gastronomy, Ecuadorian highland family traditions and the use of antique cooking instruments in an informal and friendly environment.
These fun all-inclusive cooking classes are taught in Spanish by native women who will inspire you and teach you their culinary secrets and local techniques.
We will travel through the history of some of the most representative local products in South America, and learn about the syncretism between two continents: America and Europe; while we grasp the process and proper uses of traditional cooking tools.
The class starts with cooking lessons of our famous cheese empanadas recipe, followed by the elaboration of ají or hot sauce. Ají is a very important part of Ecuadorian cuisine. This recipe varies from home to home. Here at Hacienda El Porvenir you will learn how to make it the traditional way, on a stone mortar and seasoned with various herbs and spices. We will also learn how to prepare the delicious canelazo, a traditional hot drink that is commonly served on celebrations in the Highlands of Ecuador.
