Who are we?

Founded in 2007, El Frijol Feliz cooking school in Antigua Guatemala specializes in teaching Guatemalan cuisine in a fun and engaging way. Classes are small, always less than five students, so please be prepared to do the cooking yourself guided by our chef.




Classes

Come to our kitchen and learn how to “tortillar” with our local chef.  Preparing food offers students a chance to learn about local Guatemalan culture.  El Frijol Feliz offers several cooking class options.
