About this activity

With the help of a traditional cook, you will discover the unique flavors of traditional Oaxacan cuisine, while learning about our traditions and culture.

In this class you will make delicious memelitas with your own hands, from preparing the dough to making a delicious molcajete sauce to accompany them.

I will teach you recipes that you can easily repeat at home. We will cook in a traditional smoke kitchen, with utensils that have been used for generations in my family, you will discover our traditions and I will give you advice that will help you better understand and taste the dishes of Oaxacan cuisine.

When we prepare the mole, I will teach you how to select the best ingredients that have given Oaxacan mole worldwide fame and recognition.

Please let me know in advance if you have dietary restrictions so I can adjust the menu so you can fully enjoy the experience.
