Intimate Setting, Perfect Activity!

The B&B is such a cool, intimate setting to take a cooking class with incredible menu creativity. Sam was a wonderful host and teacher. He was very engaging and took time to answer all our questions and even share some culinary history of Mexico. What a great class to take.

Definitely Worth It

Sam is a very experienced chef and instructor.He has cooked all over the world, including Michelin star venues. He is patient and motivating.You are creating yummy tasting plates and can pay extra for wine tasting. If I am lucky to visit again, I would ask him to do a knife skills class. I was excited to learn to make mole sauce. And the surprise dessert he made for us ….. coconut ice cream with mezcal sauce topped with toasted coconut. Sam, thank you for for sharing your talent.

We had the BEST afternoon...

We had the BEST afternoon with Sam! We had so much fun cooking, laughing, and enjoying every minute of the experience. Everything was so well organized, the food we made was absolutely delicious, and the presentation was beautiful! Sam was so friendly, personable, and easy to be around. He made us feel right at home and really made the afternoon special. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would definitely do it again!

Excellent culinary adventure

Fantastic culinary adventure with Sam and his fellow chef partner. I've lived in Mx for many years and am a huge fan of Mexican food but never realized the complexity until this experience. We spent 3 hours preparing some incredible dishes and the highlight was when we got to eat what we had prepared. Highly recommend.

Enjoyable and Yummy Cooking Experience with Sam!

If you are looking for a fun and authentic Mexican cooking class, please don’t hesitate! We had an excellent experience with Sam and his sous chef as we prepared some fairly complicated recipes in traditional ways using the freshest of ingredients and spices. And then enjoyed our creations with a wine pairing. Amazing! This class is priced very reasonable. We urge you to enjoy it!!
