Our day was quite an experience! Jose, who taught us, provided a unique, well-paced, and tasty experience in a beautiful urban farm setting. We made tortillas from scratch and stuffed them with cactus, mushrooms and cheese. We made vegetable soup, chicken with almond mole, pork with adobo and a surprisingly tasty plaintain dessert. From the way we were greeted, to the trip to the market and finally eating, our day was an experience we won't forget. There was mescal and beer for the taking as well as water and juice. Go do this!!!
I am Miguel Alvarez, a chill, nice person who has a passion for cooking and a professional chef with more than 18 years of experience who created a project called Quinta Brava,
After traveling to a lot of countries, I decided to go back to Oaxaca, go deeper into my heritage, and cook proper ancient Oaxaca cuisine, like my grandmother's cooking. In 2016, I also decided to travel all around Oaxaca state to learn more and go back to my roots to recover the Oaxaca ancient cuisine like generations ago.
I created a concept called "eating like in the village". The idea was to teach about and serve food cooked in the old-fashioned way in wooden fire stoves. In 2017, I decided to create “ The Real Oaxaca Cooking Experience”. The main idea is to show you a complete 100% hands-on workshop about the magic and flavors of Oaxaca cuisine on our small farm.
