Mexican Cooking Class with Food Market Visit in Mexico City

by
Mexican Cooking Class with Food Market Visit in Mexico City - Cooking with Chef José in a small group

1.Mexican Cooking Class with Food Market Visit in Mexico City

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 3 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $124Our pick

Shop a Mexico City market, cook a seasonal Mexican meal with Chef José, and share guacamole, tortillas, guisados, sorbet, and mezcal.

“This was a unique class. Held in a lovely private home with Jose it was very intimate and fun. Jose was the ringmaster guiding us through various stages of the cooking process. This class wasn't focused on teaching or explaining the cooking process, which other classes I have taken have included, but this was still a lot of fun. The fact that you do the cooking as a communal activity helps you get to know others and makes it super fun.”

Cook a four-course Mexican meal, tour Mercado Medellín, taste local specialties, and learn recipes with Aura Cocina Mexicana in a small group.

“We traveled to Mexico City to attend several cooking classes and this one was excellent. Our instructor Ana was completely charming and very knowledgeable. She spent a great deal of time on the history of Mexican cooking, which was fascinating. During the class, we prepared Mextlapiques and Mole Blanco, among other dishes. Every class will teach you salsas and tortillas, so we were fortunate to learn these somewhat unique dishes. The cooking facility was very nicely decorated and clean and organized. I would say the strength of the class was the visit to the Medellin Market prior to the class. Ana expertly showed us the items used in Mexican cooking…”

We were given 3 choices on a main dish and we settled on a stuffed poblano and Mexican rice. We also made sopes with chorizo, 3 types of fried quesadilla, red and green salsas, and a wonderful poached guava dessert. Lucia is sophisticated and warm and she was so helpful in helping us plan other unique experiences to explore more of Mexico City during the remainder of or trip. I hope to cook with her again on a return trip to Mexico City.”
