Flavor Logic

Beyond the Recipe.

The idea

Most recipes tell you what to do. Flavor Logic teaches you why it works.

This is not a traditional cooking class. There are no rigid techniques to memorize, no dishes you will never make again at home. Instead, you will learn the underlying logic of Ecuadorian cooking, the structure behind the flavor, the reason behind each step, so that back in your own kitchen, with your own ingredients, you can recreate the essence of what you tasted here.

The food that arrives at the end is part of all of it. Everything on the table, you made.

What you take home

A printed recipe for every dish, with full instructions and substitution notes. And a small keepsake from the kitchen to remember the afternoon.

Ecuadorian cuisine and techniques

From Scratch

From Scratch to Your Own Signature Dish

Learn to cook, not just follow recipes.

From Scratch is a hands-on cooking series designed to help you understand the foundations behind good cooking, the techniques, methods and principles that allow you to cook with confidence, adapt recipes, and eventually create your own.

Rather than focusing on learning a collection of recipes, each module takes one essential cooking technique and explores how it can be used in different dishes.

Each module includes two classes, held in one week, once a month. Across those two classes, you’ll learn one fundamental technique and use it to prepare three different dishes, giving you the opportunity to understand how the same foundation can create completely different results.

MODULE I - BUILDING FLAVOR We begin with one of the most important foundations of Ecuadorian cooking: the refrito. A well-made refrito is much more than simply sautéing onions and garlic. It is about understanding heat, timing, aromatics, seasoning and how to slowly build a flavorful base that can transform a dish. CLASS 01 Refrito + Seco de Pollo We’ll learn the fundamentals of making a proper refrito and use it as the foundation for a traditional Ecuadorian seco de pollo. CLASS 02 Sango de Camarón + Locro de Papas We’ll take the same technique further, exploring how the refrito behaves differently when used in two very different preparations: a rich shrimp sango and a comforting locro de papas. By the end of the module, you won’t have simply learned three recipes. You’ll understand one fundamental technique and how to apply it in different ways. That is the idea behind From Scratch: learning the foundations so you can cook beyond the recipe.

Private class

From the map

Ecuador is not one flavor, it is four territories that cook differently because they live differently. Coast, Andes, Amazon and Galápagos: each region has its own language of fire, ingredient and time. From the Map is your invitation into one of those languages, guided by someone who has lived all four.

This is a private class, with groups of up to six people. You choose the region you want to explore. Each region is taught in a single four-hour day, fully focused on its techniques and its history.

Price: USD 75 per person
Duration: Four hours
Group: Max. 6
Reservation: 15 days in advance

Which region would you like to explore?

Exclusive to you and your group, up to six people. A deep culinary and cultural focus on a single region, an ebook to take home, and an experience kit to close the day.

Traditional ecuadorian cuisine Vegan version

The Same Table

Ecuador's most iconic dishes were not built around meat. They were built around technique.

The slow refrito, the long simmer, the precise moment a sauce turns into something else entirely.

The Same Table takes six of Ecuador's most loved recipes and rebuilds them from the inside. No animal products. No shortcuts. The same architecture of flavor, rebuilt on purpose.

This module is for those who want to understand Ecuadorian cooking not as a list of ingredients to avoid, but as a culinary tradition rich enough to stand without them. You will stew, simmer and fry your way through the country's canon, and leave with the logic to keep cooking it at home.
