Wonderful time

We booked a three-hour Mexican cooking class. It was a wonderful shared experience, and we left with very full bellies. Grace and her family are exceptionally kind and welcoming. We were made to feel very welcome and spent three lovely hours there. Thank you, Grace, for this experience. It was memorable.

Wonderful evening 💛

This was an excellent time— meeting the gracious host and family, and learning to make masa and prepare a few dishes with it... along with some sides.

Not a class - but a dinner at home with new friends.

My wife and I, and our nieta Talia, prepared a meal with Max and his wife (and his in-laws). It was raining that evening and Max surprisingly offered to pick us up at our Airbnb. Our experience was not really a cooking class. It was more like being invited into a welcoming stranger's home to make and share a meal with the entire family around and in and out. And, yes, the cooking was in the home. This was an unforgettable experience and I recommend this company/family without reservation. ...read more

A unique experience for all ages

There wasn’t much communication at the beginning in terms of exactly who to meet up with, but once we figure that out it was a very pleasant experience. We went to their house and the entire family was friendly and outgoing. We made some good food and I would highly recommend it for everyone else.

Wonderful evening

After the pick-up at the meeting point took a while because we couldn't get in touch, we had a wonderful evening! The family we visited was so nice. The cooking class was small and manageable. We cooked delicious food, learned something about it and had more than enough to eat afterwards. We learned about the culture and other customs. After a delicious dessert, we played a casual game and were given Mexican sweets to take home with us. It was simply a wonderful experience!
