A Family Tradition... in my cooking classes

The family’s traditional copper pots and sieves on the kitchen wall

From my earliest years, I watched my mother, my aunts and grandparents in the kitchen. So I invite you to join me in tranquility — to take our aprons and spoons, to use the very fresh ingredients of our Mexican cuisine, and recreate together those delicious dishes that I learned from them, with love, tradition and fire.

Add to your culinary knowledge all “the best kept secrets” you always wondered about in Mexican cuisine: soups, Mexican sauces (salsas), adobos, pipianes, mole, Mexican rice, tamales, cochinita pibil, stuffed fresh and dry chiles, ensalada de nopal, tinga and many more — all of them authentic Mexican recipes passed down in my family for over 200 years.
