The day starts at Mercado Lucas de Galvez, generally considered Merida's largest and busiest traditional market, where stalls stacked with tropical fruit sit beside vendors selling the spice pastes that define Yucatecan cooking — among them achiote, the brick-red annatto-seed paste behind the region's best-known dish, cochinita pibil, and habanero, the fiery chile that shows up in salsas across the peninsula. Your guide walks the market with you, pointing out ingredients and letting you sample fruit along the way.
Yucatecan food carries its own history within Mexican cuisine — built on Maya ingredients and cooking methods, like pit-roasting meat wrapped in banana leaves, then layered with Spanish influence and, later, a wave of Lebanese immigration that reached the Yucatan in the 19th and early 20th centuries and left its own mark on the region's recipes. Shopping for real ingredients first, rather than starting straight at the stove, gives that layered history some context before the cooking begins.
From the market, the group heads to a local home to prepare a traditional three-course meal from what was bought that morning. Vegetarian and vegan versions of the menu are available on request, and — adapted from what's normally a small-group cooking class — Voyzo runs this exclusively as a private experience for your own group.
