Review of Mexico City’s hands-on cooking class, local market visit, mezcal, seasonal dishes, price, logistics, and who should book.
“I was a solo traveler welcomed into a fun group. The chef was friendly, patient, and knowledgeable. The space was beautiful and filled with eclectic decor. Best of all, the food was delicious, and we actually helped shop for, prepare, and cook.”
Review of Oaxaca’s hands-on cooking class and local market tour, including food, guides, group size, value, menus, and practical booking advice.
“The prepping of all the ingredients involved in a complete Oaxacan meal was fun and educational. Emily kept things moving well even with a group of 17. I would recommend offering water before and after the walk to the market. The heat took a toll on some in the group.”
Cook a four-course Mexican meal, tour Mercado Medellín, taste local specialties, and pair lunch with mezcal, beer, or wine.
“Absolute highlight of our trip to Mexico City. We should've started with this! I learned so much about the food (and general culture) of Mexico. I don't even like cooking and had such a good time with our chef, Lorena. The market visit, cooking process, and meal were all amazing.”
Pick the kind of day first, then pick the coast.
