Belize Tropical Cooking School
Maya Mountain guests have long pleaded with us for our Belizean recipes so they learn to cook some of  our delicious creations back home! At long last, Maya Mountain guests, as well as visitors staying in other accommodations, will have the opportunity to learn some of these wonderful dishes. In addition, Maya Mountain Lodge owner, Suzi Mickler, recently took an advanced course in Thai cooking in Thailand, so she will also offer some new Thai recipes. Additional courses in tropical or Thai cooking are available on request.
Each course includes either an adventure to the San Ignacio town and market just one mile away or a tour of the Maya Mountain Lodge grounds to view a diversity of edibles and ornamentals, many of which are ingredients in the course menus.
