Must do! Exceptional experience

David is an exceptional chef with a gift for teaching and a deep desire to share his knowledge at a level that each of us can understand. The food we made was extraordinary and I can’t wait to make it at home.

Great time, great food

Great experience and great food! David is an impressive teacher- both about Mexican culture and tradition and also basic culinary techniques. The market tour was a nice addition.
