What You’ll Experience

This is a unique opportunity to visit the home of a local and explore culture and cuisine. Ximena is a warm and wonderful host delighted to teach guests French and Mexican cooking techniques as well as share Mexico's contributions to French cuisine! Begin your culinary journey in Chamant with a 5-minute walk to the Senlis village to learn the history of this medieval French town. Ximena shares the importance of pre-Hispanic Mexican ingredients to French cuisine - imagine French cuisine without pain au chocolat!

During your hands-on cooking class, learn to knead masa to make fresh tortillas, create a delicious soup or ceviche and learn techniques involved in making salsa in a molcajete.
