Traditional Mexican Cooking with Seasonal Ingredients in the Jungle of Tulum

Sobre

Our Culinary experience starts with an introduction to México's essential ingredients and flavors, our most representative food, how to buy and preserve dry chiles, and all about tortilla process; also we'll learn about mezcal and will do a mezcal tasting, along with Oaxaca's must traditional appetizer! we'll have “THE traveler ultimate experience” in traditional food!

Then, we'll go through the whole process, from scratch, to prepare and cook an authentic and traditional Mexican menu, collecting some of the ingredients from our garden. 

Many of the dishes you will learn and help to cook come from my own family recipes. As a Mexican native, I inherited my Mexican cuisine from my previous generations, and my passion too!

Cooking class completed, we'll sit down to share the fruits of our labor, along with a "jarrito de agua fresca " or beer, or wine (or both!) and enjoy life!

Menu

Here is a sample menu. It will vary depending on our guests preferences, dietary restrictions, season, etc.  If you have a request for a particular food, please let me know, I'll try my best to add it!

• Quesadillas tradicionales (A must in México for breakfast, dinner, Netflix marathons, etc!)
• Sopa de milpa (My abuela's favorite comfort soup, a caress to the soul in a plate...)
• Tacos de pescado en salsa de 3 chiles (the most delicious fish tacos, with garlic and chile guajillo, this is my family recipe, the best of México in a tortilla!)
• Flan casero (I will share with you my personal touch for the most creamy flan you ever tried!)
• Hand-made tortillas... from scratch!
• Salsa Meya (a multipurpose salsita, you can use it for tacos, quesadillas, empanadas, enchiladas, etc, very versatile and delicious)
• Agua de Jamaica (a traditional drink, "agua fresca", made with dry flowers).
