“It was amazing. The walk to the mercado is pleasant, the mercado itself great because there aren't (or at leat weren't) other tourists there, prepping and making the food is a blast and, mostly importantly, the finished products are absolutely delicious.”

“Victor has an amazing personal story and was a great teacher. We learned a lot during the visit to the market. Our group of 10 shared prep and cooking responsibilities and our meal was delicious”

“This was an unforgettable and unique experience and we are very grateful for senora Lopez welcoming us in her kitchen. We opted for the corn experience and enjoyed making salsas, mole, tortillas, empanadas, and memelitas. The food was some of the best we’ve had on our whole Mexico trip! Senora Lopez is very kind, patient, and knowledgeable. We are also so grateful to Amy, the expert translator, who explained many things to us, including some of the historical context behind Oaxacan cuisine. She was very friendly and kind, as was the rest of the team. Thank you senora Lopez, Amy, and the whole team! we recommend this experience to anyone…”

“Fantastic experience shopping for ingredients, getting to learn new techniques and recipes with a fantastic host. Highly recommended!”

“Quetzalla and her staff were excellent. We went to s local market, where she explained various local foods and the differences in types of chili's etc. We then walked back and started on meal prep. it was time consuming and we learned lots of new skills. We ended with a beautifully crafted meal of amazing tastes which everyone loved. it was a great experience and I will try to recreate some of these after I return home. Their class was worth every cent; best class ever!”

“Sandra and Samuel were fantastic. It was like cooking with your favorite Aunt and Un le at their home. We learned six dishes over the five hours we spent together and it was so fun! I highly recommend.”

“This was a really fun experience. Great teaching artist, the tools and equipment were all provided, and we took home beautiful souvenirs from our trip. Our teacher also explained the political history of print making in Oaxaca which we found very interesting for context. The space was also really nice. Highly recommend!”

“This was such an incredible experience. Betsy is an absolute doll - warm, inviting, and unquestionably an excellent chef. You walk into her incredible kitchen and it's like walking on to the set of a cooking show. It's so beautiful, incredibly appointed, and laid out so there's plenty of room for everyone. The menu selections (sent in advance so you can let her know what you'd like to cook -- appetizers, main course, dessert) were awesome, and you can find options for cooks with little to no experience in the kitchen all the way up to experienced. One member of our group is pescatarian, and she was very easily accommodated…”

“Great experience, learnt a lot about the mexican culture. The old cooking techniques and moderns. The food was delicious and it was great to do it from scratch. Oswaldo is a great chef and a great teacher. I would definitely recommend it to other people and would do te recipes at home. Thank you again for this experience.”

“Super fun and informative workshop. We learned a lot about cacao’s history and production. We sampled different beans with different styles of production, washed vs fermented, sampled different ground powders, and then roasted and ground our own cacao, which we made into hot chocolate. We got to keep the remainder of our ground chocolate as a delicious souvenir. We would highly recommend this workshop and would do it again. We did it with our two kids, 12 and 8, and they enjoyed it immensely. The staff were super friendly, knowledgeable, and accommodating.”

“This was such a fantastic day out! The whole experience was so thought out and created such a fun and authentic day. The food was delish too ☺️”

“This was the most amazing outing we did in Oaxaca. The family was so nice and taught us not only how to cook their wonderful food but all about their traditions as well. We made hot coco, salsa, Memelitas and mole all from the freshest ingredients. We had so much fun and truly enjoyed this experience!”

“Het was heerlijk om op de fietst door Oaxaca te rijden. De guide Marjorie vertelde veel. Een superervaring en echt een aanrader. Het leukste vond ik alle kleuren in de straten.”

“I had a really nice and fun afternoon by learning the art of wood engraving in this workshop. Milo, our teacher was very friendly, competent and patient. I recommend this workshop to everyone who would love to learn something new and discover this artistic technique, which is a very important part of the culture and history of Oaxaca.”

“We enjoyed our driver and the journey to St Martin Tilcajete. The studio was amazing, and we learned about the significance of the spirit animals. It was good to see artists painting and carving. Our painting time was a bit rushed- we needed more time to work on it. We were back in Oaxaca at 2:00, not 3:00 as advertised.”
