Great Cultural Experience!!

Our experience with Jasmine was amazing! We were provided with a warm welcome, fresh pineapple juice, and cold water throughout the experience. Once the cooking class began, she provided us with courteous instructions and guidance, allowing us to appreciate every ingredient. Her warmth and enthusiasm was genuine and she cared deeply about our culinary experience. After all the cooking, we enjoyed each dish and the flavors were great. Definitely the best Molé I’ve ever had. I highly recommend her...read more

Best Family Activity in Puerto Escondido

We took the México on a Plate cooking class in Puerto Escondido today and it was a highlight of our trip! Jasmine was an absolutely wonderful instructor — so patient and warm with our kids, making sure everyone felt included and had fun in the kitchen. She clearly loves what she does and it shows in how she teaches. The food we made was incredible, full of authentic flavor and technique. If you’re visiting Puerto Escondido, this is a must-do experience.
