Worth the trip - Chef Krystal was so gracious and very informative. I learned so much about the ingredients that were unfamiliar and even the ones that were. The market trip is a great experience as is the hands on experience of making the dishes.

The real deal - Graciela was fantastic. It was a nice combination of learning about food, experiencing the market, and hands on making food.
Too many cooking classes are really just a demo with a token little prep work. Not here - you are mixing, chopping, grinding, sautéing, griddling, etc...
Would do again!

The MAXIMUM - It is an incredible experience, very complete, Chef Lore took us to the Medellín market, explained to us what we can find there, the fruits, vegetables and authentic Mexican jewels (insects from Oaxaca), the difference between flour tortillas and corn, I have been living in CDMX for 15 years and I had never opened myself to a different option like this.
DELICIOUS food, well worth it
