As in all cultures, those born and raised in the society are the best source of knowledge about traditions. As a Mexican native, I inherited my Mexican cuisine from my previous generations. And my passion too!
Come and share the magic that happens in my cooking classeswhenever I share with you my inherited knowledge and very fresh ingredients mixed with a variety of spices and herbs to season — or the miracle that happens when I use dried fruits, seeds and nuts to thicken and season the large list of traditional Mexican sauces (salsas).
Witness the colors, aromas, and surprising transformations of the dry chiles as they turn into wonderful Mexican salsas with flavors you’ll find nothing less than “amazing”. This sensory experience, combined with the opportunity to cook side by side with me and then sit down to a fine, abundant meal you prepared yourself, makes for an unforgettable culinary experience.
Weekday cooking classes emphasize the hands-on experience: students gather around, immerse themselves in Ancestry Mexican cuisine, and work to prepare a full three-course lunch. Cooking class completed, everyone sits down at the long wooden table to enjoy the fruits of their labor, along with a jarrito de agua fresca de Jamaica.
I take pride in offering high-quality cooking classes, loyally conveying the techniques and “secrets” that have been jealously kept in my family for generations. I invite you to learn them in my cozy kitchen, with its antique Mexican molcajetes, metates, cazuelas and ollas. Contact us to hold your space in any of our classes — small groups always, to ensure individualized attention for each student.
