Medellín Market Tour, Cooking Class and 3-course Mexican Feast

I was in the Mole class, it is an extraordinary experience, in a cozy environment, in a beautiful place, an apartment from the 30s. It has 2 divine cats that you can interact with, I loved it! Jim is an excellent host, kind, an excellent teacher, and very knowledgeable. I recommend it 1000%. I spent a fun afternoon learning a lot about Mexican food and culture. A very nice atmosphere is created between Jim and the others attending the class, then at the end we ate what we cooked and it was super delicious and super pleasant. I would do it again!

This experience was amazing from beginning to end! My advice would be to do this tour and cooking class towards the beginning of your time in Mexico City to ground you in the culinary history of this beautiful city.

A++ muy bien! wha a great class and amazing guide/chef/host/instructor Jim! would recommend 100% to everyone!

Fantastic from 1st look to taste. He was friendly, super knowledgeable, and executed the cooking class flawlessly. It was a lot of fun, super immersive and probably the best meal we had on the trip. totally worth it! He even surprised us with a surprise dessert and we also enjoyed local drinks as we cooked. Fabulous

Jim gave us a wonderful experience today. The market tour was very interesting and he had a lot of information on the history of food evolution. We had so much fun making the tamales, homemade tortillas and the fantastic Monet with chicken, apple, and pineapple. We definitely learned things that will be taking home to our own kitchen. Couldn’t give it a higher mark! And the cider and beers were interesting to taste as well. Definitely booked this when you’re in town.

This was a wonderful class! Jim includes the history and origins of the ingredients of Mexican cuisine and makes the market tour interactive and different than any other class! The tamales were delicious and we learned a new method for keeping the masa moist and flavorful. The first time we had mole verde and I’ll be making it at home! The atmosphere was welcoming and beautifully decorated with local art and even the plates and bowls we used added to the experience. If you’re in Mexico City, Jim’s class is worth it!

Book this now! Simply put, this was one of the best experiences in our trip to Mexico City. The tour of the market was absolutely lovely and informative. With such a large market, I wouldn't have known where to start but Jim showed taught us so much about current and historical ingredients. He was so personable and the class flowed so well. I will forever carry the things he taught me and remember this class every time I make my own mole, tamale, or tortilla. It felt like I was cooking at a friend's house that also happened to be an expert chef. So comfortable there and he even made us some traditional cacao drinks at the end that was the perfect cap to the perfect evening.

We did the market tour and three course meal cooking class. The market tour was fantastic, Jim shared about the history of how ingredients crossed continents and developed into Mexican cuisine today. The dishes we made all turned out delicious. Everything was very clean and sanitary. Jim has done a lot of training and clearly knows his stuff, he’s also very open and personable. Highly recommend this course, I’m sure all of his classes are great, but I would recommend this one with the market tour.

My husband had such a wonderful, meaningful time on this tour with Jim. We booked ‘The Works’ Market Tour, Cooking Class and Mexican Feast and it was so worthwhile! Jim was warm and inviting with a wealth of knowledge and passion for Mexican food and its origins. We learned a lot. I appreciated all the details from the beautiful locally made spoons and bowls and decor in his lovely Condesa home! The meal was delicious and I have never made such flavourful authentic Mexican food and this knowledge I gained will last a lifetime for me! I left feeling SO inspired and happy to have found this tour and support Jim’s dream job :)

This was an absolute amazing experinece. Shopping in the market was one of the best I many other market/cooking classes I have taken. The authetenic approach to cooking was awesome. The only suggestion I have is to shorten the evening - the entire day was too long.
