Cocina de Sonia

We absolutely loved this cooking class. We are huge foodies and love trying food from across the globe. It was such a special treat to learn how to prepare Oaxacan staples and learn about their family's traditional recipes and preparations of mezcal, mole, salsas, and quesillo. It was one of our favorite parts of our trip and the whole team was so kind, welcoming, and knowledgeable. Their energy and enthusiasm for their craft shines through their dishes and the whole experience, ensuring that everyone has a wonderful time!

When we go to a new city, we like to look for opportunities to understand local culture beyond the tourist facade. This was one of the best we've done.l, and ended up being a highlight of our trip to Oaxaca, and Mexico more broadly. Sonia, Baldo and their family were very warm. We learnt a lot from the experience about Oaxacan food and culture, and the food we prepared was the best we had. I'm also really keen to make empanadas when I get home! Our two kids, aged 14 and 16, also loved the experience. I think it's definitely a great experience for families.

Every moment was so well organized and enjoyable. The deliciousness and variety of dishes was astounding! The staff was so friendly and encouraging. I recommend this experience wholeheartedly. If I go back to Oaxaca, I will sign up again.

Everything about it was wonderful - Baldo and all of the cooks and helpers were amazing, plus we really enjoyed all the food. Our only issue was finding room to eat it all! We love Oaxacan food and the variety, plus the freshness and selections were terrific!

This was an excellent experience. Everything was so well organized, informative, and fun. I thought I was going to explode by the end of the day we ate so much.

Everything went off without a hitch - from picking us up, transporting us to the cooking location and return at the end of the class. The instructor was knowledgeable and passionate about the food. Met some wonderful people from around the world. Highly recommend this cooking class. Bald and his mother were wonderful hosts.

My husband and I totally enjoyed learning and cooking in this class! Our host was fabulous and the food was amazing!

We had the pleasure of meeting the whole team last August, and they were all incredibly kind and friendly! Baldo and his mother, Sonia, were simply wonderful—such lovely people! And the food and the mescalitos were absolutely delicious! I hope to return someday.

We thoroughly enjoyed our experience with you.

One of our favorite experiences that we did was taking a cooking class just on the outskirts of Oaxaca with a wonderful local family. We loved learning to make traditional Oaxacan dishes and sharing in their warmth and hospitality. 🇲🇽 If you're in the area, don't miss this incredible opportunity to cook, eat, and connect with the local culture! 🌶️

The cooking class we took from you is one of my fondest memories! Such a great experience!

We loved our experience and the food was fantastic.

Oaxacan delicacies, you dream about them... until you make them a reality! 👏👏👏
