Not only fun but we had the best meal of our vacation! - I cannot recommend this more highly! Julieta planned the perfect meal and we cooked everything with her guidance. It was like cooking and talking with an old friend. The dinner was fantastic and just eating together was fun. If you want to learn a truly personal side of Mexico, this is a perfect opportunity.

Cook a delicious dinner with Chef Julieta - Julieta taught us how to prepare a super dinner of Mexican food in a spacious area, with all the kitchen tools we needed. Julieta’s assistant, Madeleine, did a great job of keeping the kitchen area organized. Very fresh ingredients were given to us to use as well as extensive instructions and demonstrations on how to prepare the food. At the end, we all enjoyed our meal, but sadly couldn’t take any leftovers with us as we were staying in a hotel.

Perfect way to spend an evening - Perfect way to spend an evening with my Mom! The class was very hands on and approachable. We learned a lot of practical recipes for “home cooking” and are already thinking about making the nopales salad at home. We left full and happy!

A wonderful learning experience. Skills I can use in my own kitchen. - This cooking class was exactly what my wife and I were looking to experience during our trip to Mexico City. The host was an excellent teacher. Every aspect was well planned out, and created a perfect environment for beginner and intermediate cooks alike. I was very impressed with how the collection of relatively simple ingredients came together to create such a flavorful meal. The host was also very friendly, and a joy to work alongside. She did a fantastic job of explaining the importance of each ingredient to the meal, as well as the culinary and historical significance of what we were preparing. Her direction created a seamless work flow, and before I knew it, we were enjoying a delicious, full course meal. I highly recommend this experience, and will absolutely be implementing what I have learned into my meals at home. Thank you chef!
