Immerse yourself in the authentic experience of Oaxacan cuisine with a traditional cook, recognized by UNESCO as one of the guardians of Mexican gastronomy. These women, whose legacy has been passed down from generation to generation, represent the core of Mexico's culinary richness, contributing to the designation of Mexican cuisine as an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.
In this class, you'll be welcomed into the home of a culinary leader in Teotitlán del Valle. Your adventure begins at the local market, where you’ll discover the ingredients that bring ancestral dishes to life, then proceed to her home, where you’ll be greeted with Oaxaca’s traditional bread and chocolate for a warm start. You’ll learn to prepare tamales and traditional moles ( the green mole famous in the region), using authentic methods like the metate and comal.
The class lasts approximately three hours, and you’ll enjoy an artisanal mezcal tasting while savoring your culinary creations.
