The Real Oaxaca Cooking Experience

Sobre

We will start the day on our family farm to introduce ourselves and Oaxacan cooking to you over coffee or hot chocolate. We will then choose the menu for the day where you will become the main chef of this culinary experience. We'll next go to the farm to collect fresh herbs and then walk 4 minutes to the local market to buy the remaining ingredients for our Oaxacan feast.

From the market, you will work with a metate to transform the corn into a handmade masa to make fresh tortillas.
You will also cook nopales, huitlacoche, shred quesillio to make quesadillas, empanadas, tetelas in the hot Comal that works with wood fire.

You will then have a mole tasting and I will show you how to cook different kinds of salsas to enjoy brunch. Also, we will cook a real Oaxacan 3-course meal. It could be any of the most representative moles or other things, there are so many options to choose from. The cooking class always is different, it’s based on your curiosity and doubts so feel free to choose your own mole/cooking adventure.
