- From the moment we stepped onto the stunning property we were transported to the realm of authentic Mexican cooking. Chef Miguel's passion for cooking is fueled by his appreciation of the cultural history pertaining to the dishes we were making and the attributes of each ingredient and tool...be it nutritional, historical or spiritual. As he guided us through each step he masterfully wove all of this information into his presentation. By the time we sat down to eat our mole I completely understood why this is such an important dish in Mexico. We were eating a dish with ingredients gifted by the God's. I will never again mindlessly use my molinillo when I make Mexican hot chocolate. I now know the task is massaging my heart and to cook with a heart full of love is to infuse the food with that love which subsequently serves to physically and spiritually nourish the recipient. Thank you Chef Miguel for such a wonderful experience.

Everything Was Fabulous! - Miguel was wonderful! All 4 of us (2 couples) really enjoyed ourselves, even the non-cooks among us, because Miguel made everything so interesting. We enjoyed meeting the others in our class and we each played a role in the meal. And all of this is to not even mention how incredible the food was - it really was! I would do this again and again.
