Escape to the sun-drenched coast of the Yucatán Peninsula without leaving the kitchen. This menu is a celebration of Tulum's vibrant food scene, where ancient Mayan ingredients meet bold, tropical flavor — think smoky achiote, fiery habanero, sweet plantain, and bright citrus, all brought together in one unforgettable, beach-town-inspired feast.
Chef Melissa Pelkey-Hass will kick off the evening with a chef-prepared Hibiscus Honey Margarita — tart, floral, and perfectly balanced — with the recipe included in your take-home packet so you can recreate it at home. From there, she'll guide you hands-on through every dish on the menu, sharing the techniques and flavor-building secrets behind true Yucatán-style cooking.
What's on the Menu:
- Hibiscus Honey Margarita (Chef Prepared, recipe included in packet): A vibrant, tart-sweet cocktail infused with hibiscus and honey — the perfect welcome to your Tulum-inspired evening.
- Mayan Fiesta Corn Soup: A rich, comforting soup rooted in ancient Mayan tradition, showcasing corn in its most soulful, satisfying form.
- Plantain, Chorizo & Black Bean Empanadas: Golden, flaky empanadas packed with sweet plantain, savory chorizo, and hearty black beans — a hand-held bite bursting with contrast and flavor.
- Mango Habanero & Achiote Lime Chicken Skewers with Jicama Slaw: Juicy grilled chicken skewers glazed in sweet mango and fiery habanero, marinated in earthy achiote and bright lime, served alongside a crisp, refreshing jicama slaw.
- Tequila-Soaked Grilled Pineapple with Passionfruit & Toasted Coconut Ice Cream, Served with Honeycomb (Chef Prepared, recipe included in packet): Caramelized grilled pineapple soaked in tequila, paired with tropical passionfruit and toasted coconut ice cream, finished with a touch of honeycomb — a decadent, tropical send-off to the meal.
