After school, I went to university to study education and became a

social worker in a psychiatric clinic. Four years later I connected to a group, sharing the idea to open up a coffee shop, where patients should find an opportunity to work under better circumstances. We did not get any help from any government institutions, so we just opened a coffee shop ourselves.

It was my first step into the gastronomic field, and we all had a great time.

We prepared homemade cakes and snacks and I found my destiny. My next step was to undergo vocational training.

In Germany, you have to work in different restaurants and go

to public culinary school.

Two years later, I graduated as a chef.

I was lucky to meet two other chefs during that time, and we fulfilled our dream to open the Restaurant NIL in Hamburg, where we worked successfully together for 8 years.

I had no reason lo leave Germany, but during a holiday trip to Costa Rica,

I met my future husband and stayed in this beautiful country.

For me to offer cooking classes is a way to keep on with my profession. 

I truly love to share my kitchen, knowledge, experience and 

my slice of paradise .

It is a pleasant way to get in touch with so much different people from other countries; there is always a lot to talk about, cooking and life...

Usually a cooking class starts at 10 am and takes about 3 hours, preparing a three course meal, according  the personal request. 

In small groups, up to 4 persons, you have the opportunity for individual attention in a hands on situation.

Mostly people like to learn about Costa Rica cuisine, but I am open to others as well, specially Mediterranean, German and Asian.

And after work, we sit down on our ocean front terrace and enjoy the dishes and the view of the Pacific. Time to talk about variations and alternatives.

The price for

   2 persons is $160,

   3 persons is $190,

         4 persons is $220,     

including the 13% IVA tax.

Beverages are not included, just bring your own.

Hope to see you soon...
