I am Miguel Alvarez, a chill, nice person who has a passion for cooking and a professional chef with more than 18 years of experience who created a project called Quinta Brava,

After traveling to a lot of countries, I decided to go back to Oaxaca, go deeper into my heritage, and cook proper ancient Oaxaca cuisine, like my grandmother's cooking. In 2016, I also decided to travel all around Oaxaca state to learn more and go back to my roots to recover the Oaxaca ancient cuisine like generations ago.

I created a concept called "eating like in the village". The idea was to teach about and serve food cooked in the old-fashioned way in wooden fire stoves. In 2017, I decided to create “ The Real Oaxaca Cooking Experience”. The main idea is to show you a complete 100% hands-on workshop about the magic and flavors of Oaxaca cuisine on our small farm.
