Delicious and memorable experience. - My sister and husband and I went together and loved our experience. Sam was a great teacher and the dishes he selected for us to make were healthy, beautiful and delicious. The environment was lovely and private and he was happy to share his extensive background in the culinary world both in Mexico and internationally. Highly recommend for an entertaining and delicious experience.

Amazing teacher, food and experience!! - This was a thorough cooking class where we made a 3-course lunch. Sam is an excellent teacher and he taught us some great knife skills that will help me on a daily basis! The menu appeared complicated but he guided us through every step as we shared responsibility from prep to plating. And then we ate!! Wow, what amazing flavors!! I never thought I could make such a delicious and sophisticated meal!! You can’t do better than taking a class from Sam! He’s such a pro!!!

Fantastic experience - A very fun experience. Sam is a pro! At cooking and teaching. You won’t be making tacos. The dishes are high end multiple ingredient recipes of his own creation . Just go.

Food and Fun - Sam did a great job! We made a delicious meal and had a blast at the same time! The recipes were for things that I would have never felt comfortable trying at home. Sam was kind, helpful and very knowledgeable about making simple ingredients into something amazing! The pink mole was delicious!

Cooking with San - Sam made our stay in San Miguel extra memorable. He led two moms, a 21-year-old, and a 12-year-old in a mouth watering cooking class. He made it fun for every single member in our group. He taught us how to incorporate European flavors into more traditional Mexican food and also catered to the vegetarian in our group. Sam’s class was by far our favorite activity during our visit.
