Mayan, Yucatecan & Mexican cooking classes in Merida.

THE FIRST SCHOOL DEVOTED EXCLUSIVELY TO YUCATECAN COOKING, Los Dos is owned and run by Chef David Sterling. The setting is a magnificent colonial mansion in downtown Mérida, capital of Yucatán, Mexico.
WHAT MAKES COOKING AT LOS DOS such a delightful experience is that you learn directly with Chef Sterling in his own kitchen. This personal attention - chatting with Chef Sterling over morning coffee or accompanying him to the market - makes spending a day at Los Dos a memorable part of any vacation to the Yucatán Peninsula. DESIGNED FOR PEOPLE WHO LOVE TO COOK (but who are not necessarily professional chefs), each class at Los Dos begins with coffee and pastries and ends with a fabulous meal that you and Chef Sterling prepare together.

ENTER LOS DOS AND YOU ARE CHARMED by a glimpse into the lyrical elegance of life as it was once lived in colonial Mérida. Soaring 18-foot ceilings, sumptuous surroundings, the pool patio and garden, a formal dining room and parlor and the gorgeous Mexican kitchen are yours to enjoy. You learn to cook traditional Yucatecan dishes in an environment much like that in which they were originally prepared. CHEF STERLING OFFERS half- and one-day classes, as well as two- and three-day combination cooking/excursion packages that can be combined with your stay in Mérida, as you tour the Mayan ruins and the many historical and natural splendors that the Yucatán Peninsula offers. CHEF STERLING can also design a program specifically for the interests or requirements of a private group.
