Oaxaca Kelas Memasak

I took this class with Thomas, the chocolatier. I had a great time learning about the history and significance of coco / chocolate in Oaxaca and the world. I also witnessed and helped making chocolate …all delicious, and had a true pure chocolate drink! Thomas makes excellent truffles among other chocolate things…made great gifts for friends and family back home! This class is very much worth it!!

We had a truly wonderful experience shopping, prepping, cooking and of course eating. A very nice group of people. A good size class. Great for English speakers. A highlight of my visit to Oaxaca

We loved the cooking class. Learning about the different ingredients at the market, techniques for making salsa, tortillas and mole. All the food was super flavorful, and such fun to sit together and enjoy the food. Would definitely recommend the class!

This was one of the activities I was most looking forward in Oaxaca and it did not disappoint. The shopping at the market was a great way to start the workshop and I was introduced to a few new ingredients. It was so fun to be a part of of the group cooking and we made an incredible meal. A few things to note, it is a relaxed environment so everyone gets random tasks to help prepare the meal and you get to rotate to different stations in the kitchen. Also the people in my group were from a variety of sources and some signed up for a vegetarian cooking class, no worries they can make everything vegan!

My partner and I took the class and loved it. We really enjoyed getting to explore the market to buy food before starting cooking, and that everyone’s preferences and restrictions were taken into consideration for the class. Chef Martin was a great instructor, and super knowledgeable about the history of agriculture in Oaxaca and Mexico.

We enjoyed our class with Chef Martin immensely. He is knowledgeable, engaging, and friendly. Most impressively, he managed about 8 of us in the kitchen with ease - we were all given tasks and enough instruction and guidance to do them successfully. All of the food was fresh, flavorful, and delicious - can't recommend this class highly enough!

Chef Cesar was creative, knowledgable, and kind. We started with the market tour and shopping which was fascinating. With a lot of patience, Cesar explained the origin of ingredients and their usage in Mexican cuisine. After cooking all the delicious Oaxacan dishes, we got to eat our creations. Can't wait to try the recipes at home. Thanks, Cesar!

We LOVED this cooking class! It was wonderful to experience shopping in the market (one we would not likely have found on our own, btw) and then to then prepare the meal in a home environment. We learned new techniques we can use at home. We experienced new flavors. We ate family-style and received the recipes in written form. I would sign up for this class again if we ever find ourselves back in Oaxaca. It's a new menu each time, and the hosts are incredible cooks, knowledgeable about Oaxacan cuisine, and kind.

Loved every minute of it and then had a fabulous meal — that we made ourselves! Highly recommend.

I really enjoyed the market tour, and then being able to use the products we bought for our cooking class and lunch.

This class was great and was a highlight of our time in Oaxaca City. Juan Carlos and his team were so much fun and the entire experience was an education that went beyond food and did a deep dive into the culture and history of the entire Oaxaca region. 10/10 would absolutely do again!

This class was really special. Chris artfully links together the history, legends and science of chocolate and maize with themes of community, spirituality, and sustainability. It was a fascinating four hours. Plus, the food was terrific!

We had a wonderful time during our cooking class as part of a family vacation to Oaxaca. Gerardo and his family are true experts of the cuisine and culture and made sure to carefully explain each part of the shopping and class experience. Highly recommend this class for anyone visiting the region! The opportunity to visit a market and cook in the home of a local are truly unique and will create memories for a lifetime.

Oscar was organized so the group easily integrated and engaged in the prep work. Lots of information imparted, questions answered. Fun to learn about various ingredients. Delicious multi- course meal with wine, beer, mezcal, topped off with a simple dessert. Learned a lot and recommend this cooking class. Look forward to the recipes!

I loved how the chef asked me questions of my cooking level and preferences. Then we made a menu to suit. After that, we took to the markets and he shared all his local knowledge. Then we prepped and cooked. Together we sat down and ate, discussed our stories and enjoyed the food.
