Sensational! - David classes and services are not 5 star they are 100!
His knowledge about food as a whole including cooking, growing and history of it in vast like Mexico! It's a professional class not random cooking. I leaned so much about the food I love, how to make it and many techniques and tips I can use in my home cooking. He is amazing warm and kind person who love to share his knowledge with you. I took four of his classes. Cutting and cooking techniques tidy up my random knowledge. Market tour was sensational with all local ingredients you will use later in a class, herbs and spices etc. David know the history of every food he cook and also about the town . My pre Spanish classes are tomorrow where I will learn a true Mexican way of making and cooking their food. And last will be current Mexican style class. David can teach you cook anything in your dietary requirements! I'm vegan and gf and I'm in absolutely cooking heaven!

Private cooking class in SMA - We had a culturally enriching experience with Chef David in SMA - we were a group of 8 including children.
He was engaging and instructive. He tailored some of the recipes
For the vegetarians in our group.
While we learned cooking techniques and recipes for Mexican cuisine, we also learned about Mexican history .
Overall, this was a highlight of our trip , and we would recommend Chef David’s cooking class to anyone visiting SMA! We cannot wait to make his dishes back home ( he shares his recipes)!

Brilliant instruction, edifying culinary history & delicious fare! - Chef Jahnke led a perfect class that educated us about Mexico's extraordinary culinary history, provided hands-on instruction and culminated in an abundance of delicious fare we savored enthusiastically. The mole, pozole, tamales & chile rellenos were all equally fab. We ascended into the gourmet stratosphere! Truly a remarkable education & experience. Highly recommend to any & all.
