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.

Wonderful experience, perfect in every way! I would highly recommend this company. Stop reading reviews and make a booking!
It doesn’t look like much from the outside, but when you step through you immediately, see an inviting courtyard with beautiful gardens. We were given a chocolate drink and invited to walk around and look at the place. Miguel, the chef, told us all about the plants and how they are used in cooking. The class was great! The large kitchen was open and perfect for a cooking class. We learned to make two types of salsas and mole. Miguel was patient, energetic, informative, and very organized. He encouraged us to “Cook with Love.” Then we sat down and ate our delicious meal. Miguel did not rush us out, but took time to let us enjoy the gardens and courtyards. We even got to pet two sweet dogs. I would highly recommend this cooking class! It was one of the highlights of our trip to San Miguel.
This was a memorable experience. Miguel was fantastic, entertaining and knowledgeable. As someone that cooks at home often i learned many new techniques that I will incorporate into my home cooking. The estate this takes place is worth it. Just a storied estate with many interactive experiences.
Absolute must do experience when visiting. The food was fantastic and Miguel was so delightful, patient and informative. I have a new understanding of the preparation of mole and a higher respect for the process. Perfect for beginners. Also the property is stunning
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!
