Porco e Rum Cooking Class

I joined a lovely small group for this cooking class. It was a relaxed and fun environment with lots of local trivia in the mix. I highly recommend starting one of your days with Jane!

We truly enjoyed our cooking class with Jane! She shared some Mexican history and food history as we cooked, and the food was amazing! Tender pork with a delicious sauce, tortillas, corn fritters, cactus salad, tomatillo salsa, horchata with rum…. Everything was so so good!! Loved our time with Jane! Do this class - it was great!

This was a wonderful experience and we're so glad we were part of it! Jane is so talented not only as a chef but as an instructor (very patient!) We were glad she was so informative about the culture, food, and traditions of the people in the area. Will certainly return for another cooking school adventure when we plan our next trip there. Also, be sure to visit her restaurant, Cafe Juanita, in Tongalunda as well!

Cooking with Jane was an enjoyable learning experience. The recipes all blended together. I feel fortunate to have met Jane and spend time learning.

Hands on and instructor is great. Fluent in English and Spanish. Food was soooo good. I am looking forward to attempting the recipes on my own in my home.

Was a very unique and memorable experience with friends. Jane was an exceptional teacher and I enjoyed her history of the food and Mexico in general. The food was easy to prepare and delicious. I will be making these dishes to share with my friends and family.

Such a great experience! Jane guided myself and a couple of friends through a most enjoyable Mexican cooking class! Highly recommend!!

The cooking instructions and food history were well explained. The resulting lunch was outstanding. I was picked at my hotel and driven to Jane’s kitchen. I highly recommend this tour.

I arranged this tour with Jane as soon as we knew our ship would dock in Huatulco and we're so glad we did. We were met at the dock and driven to Jane's Cooking Classroom which was in an incredibly beautiful setting about 20 minutes outside of town. The space was great and the class superb. Jane answered all our questions and was an excellent teacher. We've taken cooking classes before and have always enjoyed them. This class went a bit beyond our usual experience as we learned so much about the area and the people. If you are in this part of Mexico - BOOK A CLASS - you will learn so much more than how to cook wonderful food. Our class had 8 people so book early - you won't be disappointed! Thank you Jane!

Another great cooking class with Jane at Chile's and Chocolate Cooking School in the little town of Zimitan. (transportation included)This class "Pigs and Rum" was a hands-on exploration of pibil cochinita-- pork stewed with onions, tomatoes ,citrus and spices, wrapped in a banana leaf which we cut fresh from a banana tree. We made a nopal and radish salad and fresh corn fritters. Jane not only helps us prepare the food but instructs us about the history of the food. The best part is sitting overlooking the river and enjoying the food we prepared. A great date with my husband, with great food. Met the nicest people. Can't wait for the next new class. Oh forgot the rum in the horchata. (rice water). Refreshing!!!
