From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was incredibly welcoming and instantly brought all the participants together. The host was fantastic—so friendly, engaging, and passionate—and the supporting staff went out of their way to be helpful and kind. What I loved most was that we didn't just blindly follow a recipe. We actually learned the why behind the cooking, including how to make small adjustments to customize the dish to our own tastes or completely transform it into something new. It felt like a true community experience. I highly recommend this class to anyone!

Awesome time and experience.
My husband and I had such a good time with our son and his wife. The host was wonderful at explaining the various moles and traditional cooking methods. Each participant was involved in different aspects of the dishes we cooked and the food was tasty. The other couples were also fun to learn and chat with.
Had a very nice experience and enjoyed everything moment. We are still missing the recipes thought, would appreciate if they would still send them. If this is done, 5/5 rating!
Hello Niels! As I wrote to you in the private message I sent you on the platform, I currently don't have an email or phone number to send the recipe to you, and the platform won´t let me upload the PDF file. If you still want them, please send your information to +52 9511104594
My Sister and I had the pleasure of an incredible farm-to-table Oaxacan cooking experience with José as our instructor today. We were picked up in Oaxaca Central in a van and driven out to a smaller more laid back area outside of town where there was an outdoor cooking experience with José showing us the old traditional methods of making foods such as corn tortillas made from scratch, moles, salsas, empanadas and more.. We were given a tour of their large fruit and vegetable garden and their goats, chickens and such. Then we walked to the local market to shop for additional fresh ingredients. We arrived back and José put us to work, showing us the authentic cooking techniques over fire, using all the freshest ingredients. We enjoyed several dishes and it was a wonderful experience in a laid back large back yard setting. They have a great set up there for a truly memorable day. Oh, and we enjoyed the cocktails too!!
A wonderful experience! Learn how to make tortillas from corn masa. They showed us nine different Molay's and we got to pick two that we made from scratch.. Delicious.!
What a lovely surprise. This was a great cooking class, loved the setting, the short walk to the market, learning the processes of making some authentic food and getting to taste all the different moles.
We had an excellent time at this cooking class. It was such a unique experience learning the traditional way of making corn tortillas , learning about the different types of mole’s and being surrounded by the agriculture the food was made from. Beautiful scenery and staff, Jose was so lovely we really enjoyed our time ! And we were full the rest of the day!!
Excellent, fun and engaging.
