Traditional Oaxaqueña Cooking with Grandma's Recipes
We welcome you into our home with open arms! Immediately, you will feel part of our family and our traditions. We begin our welcome, the same way my abuela did with me, with hot chocolate and pan. I love to share my stories and traditions of my culture with you. Classes can be in spanish or english.
Our class will take place in our beautiful outdoor kitchen, located on our terrace. You will learn to prepare food and cook in a traditional Oaxaqueña kitchen, called a brasero - a traditional brick stove, with open fire.
We will get busy in a hands-on cooking experience where you will learn to prepare appetizers, traditional drinks, salsas and main dishes.
In the culmination of our hard work, we will share in a group meal around the table with food, drink, stories, laughter, love and of course, mezcal.
We look forward to connecting with you over food and flavor; one of my cultures oldest traditions.
