Cook & Dine | Make Authentic Mexican Mole and Salsas in San Miguel de Allende
Description
We will begin by preparing some delicious salsas, followed by an authentic and traditional Mexican mole, tasty enmoladas, and mexican rice. You'll be educated on the ingredients, tell you about the culinary and nutritional values, and how to prepare and cook each part of the meal. We are always vegetarian, vegan or gluten-free friendly if that is an interest. We will discuss the history and cultural importance of the Mole and how it used to be the “Food of the Emperors”, reserved only for the upper class of the Mayan and Aztec society. During the lesson you will be enticed to explore your environment: the cozy den with its fireplace and library; and the surrounding courtyard with its organic gardens and gorgeous landscapes. Having prepared the delicious meal, we will sit down and dine, engaging in wonderful conversation. As welcome we will enjoy a pure cacao chocolate drink and plenty of delicious Mexican wine at all time. All while surrounded by a beautiful and tranquil environment.

Unique, personal, one of a kind authentic experience. We had 6 total people, 4 adults, a 17 yo and 13 yo. Miguel was amazing and so patient with everyone’s cooking skills. And the venue was in an amazing property.
Beautiful venue. Great instructor with a wonderful sense of humor, One, knowledgeable and sharing recipes from his Mexican grandmother. Small class of seven. Everyone agreed it was the highlight of our trip.
Magical, fun, engaging…delicious! Miguel is an amazing instructor/chef! My daughter and I plan to attempt to recreate the yummy dishes soon!
What a wonderful evening! Miguel is an amazing instructor, chef, and host. Not only did we learn to make wonderful salsas and mole, we got to do it all in a beautiful setting with wonderful wine.
Fabulous experience! From the moment you walk into the property you feel transported to a magical place. Then Chef Miguel took us into his kitchen where he gave a master class in sharing love through cooking. Unforgettable! Thank you.
Wonderful experience! The chef was charming and fun, got everyone involved. The recipes we made were outstanding! The house and grounds were also extraordinary and it was a wonderful opportunity to see them. I can't recommend this experience enough!
From the moment we stepped onto the stunning property we were transported to the realm of authentic Mexican cooking. Chef Miguel's passion for cooking is fueled by his appreciation of the cultural history pertaining to the dishes we were making and the attributes of each ingredient and tool...be it nutritional, historical or spiritual. As he guided us through each step he masterfully wove all of this information into his presentation. By the time we sat down to eat our mole I completely understood why this is such an important dish in Mexico. We were eating a dish with ingredients gifted by the God's. I will never again mindlessly use my molinillo when I make Mexican hot chocolate. I now know the task is massaging my heart and to cook with a heart full of love is to infuse the food with that love which subsequently serves to physically and spiritually nourish the recipient. Thank you Chef Miguel for such a wonderful experience.
What a treat! Our chef was fun, prepared, knowledgeable and made this class special for all of us! I learned so much about mole, the ingredients, the history...so much more than just a recipe. I highly recommend to anyone who enjoys being in the kitchen and learning about the culture through food.
Miguel was amazing! Charming, personable, knowledgeable and very professional! There were 6 in our group and he included us with doing the prep work. I learned a lot about Mexican traditional cooking with the heart & soul being the kitchen
This was a great experience! Miguel was passionate, knowledgeable and super fun to learn from. The food we made was amazing! We really enjoyed learning about the culture and cuisine, while drinking wine and meeting new friends. Highly recommended!! Don’t panic it’s organic 😊
