Delicious Oaxacan Cooking Classes with a Local Family

О нас

A typical day at La Cocina Oaxaqueña starts with a visit to the Central Market. Strolling the aisles and visiting with the vendors in the colorful hubbub will provide a fascinating overview of the region´s culinary heritage.

We will share information about many unique fruits, vegetables, and spices that you will use to prepare a four-course comida, the midday meal that Oaxacan’s drop everything to enjoy. After your class you will be able to identify these unique foods by sight, smell, and taste and be able to shop for them on your own with confidence.

When we return to our home and the kitchen, we will prepare four or five dishes, including one mole or main dish (guisado), a soup (sopa), a salsa, a salad (ensalada) and a dessert (postre).

The course includes:

• Five hours of instruction.
• Tour of a local market.
• Recipes for the dishes prepared.
• A full meal in our outdoor patio, with wine/beer/mezcal included.
• Transportation to and from your hotel.
• English speaking staff. (Although we will happily help you practice your Spanish!).
• A souvenir or gift from La Cocina Oaxaqueña Cooking School.
