An unforgettable, hands-on introduction to Oaxacan cuisine

Amazing food and an education on Oaxacan life

The vegetarian cooking class was a highlight of my visit to Oaxaca. Victor, the chef/instructor, explained the history of the largely plant-based cuisine of the region, and shared memories of his grandmother’s traditional cooking. Besides helping to prepare (and eat) delicious food with layers of flavors, I received an excellent lesson on Oaxacan culture. Highly recommended!

very good!

It was very fun. The guide was very kind and adjusted very well to our needs and the situation. Because of heavy rain we couldn't use the kitchen but they quickly moved us to another kitchen so we could continue the class without any problem.
