Overview

Experience Mexican food like never before with a market tour and cooking class! Learn about the ancient and colonial roots of the dishes you love, prepare them from scratch and feast like an emperor! This is one of the most complete culinary experiences we've seen in Mexico City. Many places offer either market tours, classes or tastings, and they teach you how to make a single dish or a couple of related dishes. With us, you get the best of all worlds, as first, your guide will give you a comprehensive overview of the history of Mexican cuisine, then, you'll prepare an entire menu that consists of multiple courses and sides, and finally, you'll learn about and taste lots of local drinks. Not only does this represent great value for money, it also makes for an experience that's the highlight of many of our guests' time in Mexico! We can happily plan for most dietary requirements, but unfortunately strict kosher is not possible at this time.

What's included

  • Recipes by email after the class
  • I'll give you all the ingredients, equipment and guidance you need to prepare two courses, salsas and tortillas. There'll also be dessert, but I'll prepare that before you arrive.
  • Those over 18 will be offered Mexican beer, wine and mezcal, and others will enjoy traditional local soft drinks.
  • Gratuities

Itinerary

Understand and enjoy Mexican cuisine more than ever with this market tour and cooking class! On your one-hour tour of Roma's Mercado Medellín, you'll learn how ancient Mesoamerican ingredients and techniques shape the Mexican cuisine we know today, and why the Spanish conquest of Mexico in the 16th century changed the way people eat both here and in Europe forever. Then, back at the beautiful Condesa home of your chef/ guide, you'll make all your favorite dishes from scratch using fresh ingredients. Prepare to get your hands dirty, as in just 3.5 hours, you'll rustle up tamales, mole and tortillas. Mexican craft beer and soft drinks will keep you hydrated. Finally, you'll enjoy the delicious fruits of your labor at a table laid with local linens and artisanal tableware. Reflect on the day's experience over dessert and finish with a cup of Mexican wine and/ or mezcal. Most dietary requirements can be accommodated. Wheelchair users have attended the class before, but the building does not have an elevator. Allergy sufferers should be aware that there are two cats in the house. Solo travelers are welcome. Just reach out!
