Airbnb is launching Cooking Experiences, a new category of bookable experiences that unlock the hidden culinary traditions of families all around the world. Guests can now get access to 3,000 unique recipes that are usually reserved for friends and family in over 75 countries globally.
Unlike typical cooking classes, which can feel intimidating or time-consuming, at the heart of every Airbnb Cooking Experience is human connection; people coming together to make and share a meal. Hosted by grandmas, farmers, pasty makers and more, Airbnb Cooking Experiences are a new way to understand culture through food, with hosts teaching traditional recipes and sharing stories in intimate settings around the world.
Popular experiences include,making handmade pasta with a Grandma in Rome, learning the cooking customs of ancient Mexico, or hosting a dumpling party in San Francisco.
