Chef Matteo of El Aguacate offers a couple different delivious 'Experiences' on AirBnb. The Plant-Based Cuisine Experience is a memorable dining experience served at your Airbnb or home. Chef Matteo’s 5-Course experience is a sensory journey starting with a welcome beverage, progresses from savory to dishes spanning different flavors and textures and ending with dessert. The menus are based on local and seasonal ingredients found in Costa Rica and prepared into the many different worldly cuisines that Chef Matteo cooks. 3 and 4 course experiences are also available.
The Costa Rican&Nicaraguan Cooking Class Experience highlights Chef Matteo’s plant-based approach to Central American Cuisine. Many of the dishes prepared in the class were taught by his former employees at their San Juan del Sur, Nicaragua restaurant, Buddha’s Garden. During his time in Costa Rica, the chef has learned many traditional recipes from locals and clients that he has been able to recreate in a plant-based manner. During the class, we learn about local ingredients, how to prepare and apply them into your everyday cooking routine. We will learn some traditional recipes recreated with a modern approach.
