Oaxaca before the Spanish A special class devoted to preHispanic Oaxacan recipes




Dive into Oaxaca's history with Chef Oscar. Discover pre-Hispanic recipes using exclusive regional ingredients. Starts at 5:30 pm. Unveil the flavors that predate the Spanish era!
Experience Details
When the Spanish arrived in Mexico, bringing with them plants, animals, herbs and spices from the Old World and Asia, there was already a thriving culinary tradition in Oaxaca. Chef Oscar Carrizosa has spent years researching traditional Oaxacan recipes, many of which use ingredients found only in this part of Mexico.
Leave the ordinary behind and explore Oaxaca’s exciting culinary past! The class begins at 5:30 pm. (Market tour not included.)
