We booked in to the Food Motion cooking class after having looked online prior to our visit; we could either join a large group of people and have more of a cooking demonstration or get a hands on, personalised lesson with Food Motion. We chose the latter and got in contact with Chef Alex who allowed us to chose our... More

Fernando & Andrea were great hosts welcoming my wife & I into their homes to cook for the morning. Andrea was a natural chef and was well prepared for our class. Fernando helped explain all of Andrea's ingredients and preparation steps and gave us hands on experience. It was an awesome experience to learn from Mexican chefs on how to... More

Chef Andrea and her husband were lovely people and talented chefs. They were flexible (we had to reschedule due to illness) and patient in explaining everything to us. The food... More

After researching all of the cooking lesson options in and around Playa del Carmen, I decided to go with Food Motion for the following reasons: 1. Individualized classes: I am a teacher myself and I know all too well that the smaller the number of students in the class, the more and better the students learn! 2. Flexibility with the... More

Chef Alexandra created a memorable evening for us! She is personable, relaxed, organized, informative,and knows how to generate a good time. The meal we created was spectacular and we enjoyed participating and learning from her. An added bonus is the rooftop deck where we ate the fruits of our labor. I would highly recommend this experience for anyone looking to... More

We had Chef Alexandra come to our condo to cook dinner for our family and it was wonderful. Chef Alexandra, herself, is delightful. She cooked an amazing meal (complete with something special for my 3 year old son). We will absolutely have her come again next time we visit! Highly recommend!

I was very happy to take the Food Motion Cooking Workshop and learn first hand from Chef Alexandra who not only tells you everything on how the dishes are made but also tells you all the history behind each dish. I always wanted to learn more... More
