Regional Mexican Cooking Class and Market Tour

We will start your experience with a welcome "agua fresca" while learning about the history of Mexican cuisine. Then we will share with you detailed explanations of recipes and ingredients to be ready to head to the kitchen for a hands-on cooking experience. We will prepare quesadillas with salsa, red rice with fried plantain, hand-made tortillas, red mole, and flan. Afterward, enjoy the lunch you've prepared with a pairing of artisanal mezcal, Mexican craft beer, or Mexican wine. Finish your experience with a high note of hot chocolate and dessert. This Class includes a market tour to Mercado de Coyoacan (walking distance). We will explain the market’s history, organization, and offerings while touring some of their main halls and have a tasting from selected market stands.
