Authentic Oaxacan Cooking Experience and Market Tour

About

Our open classes are designed to immerse you in the vibrant flavors and rich culinary traditions of Oaxaca and Mexico. Using fresh, traditional ingredients, you will learn to prepare authentic and inspired recipes that showcase the region’s unique gastronomy. Each class lasts approximately 4 to 5 hours, but it is the culmination of many hours of careful preparation to ensure an engaging and seamless experience.

Whether you are a beginner or an experienced cook, our hands-on classes are tailored for all skill levels, allowing you to actively participate in every step of the cooking process. Under expert guidance, you will gain valuable techniques, insights into ingredient selection, and a deeper understanding of the cultural significance behind each dish.

More than just a cooking class, this is an opportunity to connect with Oaxacan traditions, meet fellow food enthusiasts, and leave with the confidence to recreate these flavors at home.
