Mexican Cooking Class With Fresh Ingredients & Market Tour in Puerto Escondido

Over ons

These Mexican cooking classes offer an insider’s look at the local Benito Juarez Market in Puerto Escondido, Oaxaca. We start the day at a local comedor  (Mexican diner) for Oaxacan breakfast and freshly squeezed juice. In the market, we experience the sights, sounds, and smells while exploring and shopping for local ingredients. We check out the unique chiles native to Oaxaca. Learn how to buy, prepare and utilize them. After we tour the market we head into the kitchen to prepare a sumptuous multiple course lunch in the Mexican cooking class.

Plus ice cold Mexican beers and a rare mezcal from Sola de Vega.

Private Classes can be tailored to your specific desires.
