The cooking classes start at 9:30 a.m. and finish at approximately 2:30 p.m. We begin with a brief orientation in Restaurant La Olla then walk about eight blocks to a nearby local market where students can learn and ask questions about typical fruits, vegetables, cheese, chocolate and so on. Then we get into the kitchen, review what we will be cooking and we start! Afterward, we sit down for a mezcal tasting and to eat and enjoy the dishes we have prepared.
