My wife and I have done cooking classes in three other countries, and have traveled enough to determine if the activity is worth the time and money investment. Beginning with the driver, to Vicky, Jose and the married owners, this class was worth every penny. We like to host at our home, and we have already decided which dishes from this class we will make for our guests. Small businesses like this one employ several locals. Please sign up for this class over others!

This was an enjoyable event. One bit of a challenge is he wants you to decide the menu for the class. If you aren't that familiar with Oaxacan food, that might be challenging. After shopping, he gave us the chance to try 9 different moles. So if you aren't sure what you want to prepare, I'd encourage you to ask him to do the mole tasting first so you'll know for sure which ones you want to prepare.

Definitely come hungry. You'll be eating plenty. They have plenty of purified water, beer, and mezcal. Made us a wonderful mezcal drink to go with part of our meal.

It was a great opportunity to do some pre-Hispanic cooking which isn't something very common.

Great experience and really authentic. Jose did an amazing job and was very insightful, an amazing host! Amazing if you want to cook authentic oaxacan food!

I could not recommend this class enough if you have a interest in the culture behind Oaxaca's food history. Miguel is a stellar host and his crew is kind and knowledgeable. My friend and I are both chefs and as someone with 30 years experience I learned so many new things. The young ladies that were also there had no experience and also did fantastic. Miguel is also able to create menus on the spot that made it accommodating to a group with a vegan, vegetarian, and allergies to tomatoes and mushrooms which is no easy task. Had a truly wonderful day on the farm
