Additional Information

Take pleasure in an exclusive and authentic high-end Mexican dining experience in a local home in Mexico City with your hostess, Margarita. This is an ideal opportunity for those wanting to immerse themselves in local cultural traditions through culinary delights. Born and raised in Mexico City, Margarita first learned the art of cooking from her grandmother, who passed down recipes of traditional Mexican dishes. With a burning passion for food preparation and cookery, Margarita began her first culinary lessons at the tender age of 15. Successively, she pursued a career as a food stylist, working her magic in the creation of visually appealing dishes for numerous journals. Seven years ago, Margarita ventured into entrepreneurship, baking cookies for local enterprises. Having co-authored a Mexican cookbook, her zeal for cooking and disseminating her gastronomic know-how is evident. In her words, “To truly grasp the essence of Mexico, one has to savour its tastes. I wish to extend the rich flavor of Mexico and its vibrant food culture to others.”

Margarita, a Traveling Spoon hostess, provides an awesome, authentic Mexican food experience - My wife and I had the good fortune of visiting the home of Margarita and her husband, Gonzalo, in Mexico City as part of a Traveling Spoon experience. It was so enjoyable! She is a food genius as well as an official "food stylist." Margarita made a variety of delicious food courses and explained the pertinent background details about them. I would highly recommend this if you are remotely a "foodie."

Amazing experience - Our host, Margarita, was incredible. Her home is lovely; she is knowledgeable, organized, and had all 3 of us participating in many aspects of preparing our multi course meal. Started out in a local market with many stalls offering a variety of local fresh ingredients. There is not enough room to describe this amazing experience, I cannot recommend Margarita more highly.
