Traditional cooking class: learn how to make an Oaxacan mole
Description
With the help of a traditional cook, you will discover the unique flavors of traditional Oaxacan cuisine, while learning about our traditions and culture. In this class you will make delicious memelitas with your own hands, from preparing the dough to making a delicious molcajete sauce to accompany them. I will teach you recipes that you can easily repeat at home. We will cook in a traditional smoke kitchen, with utensils that have been used for generations in my family, you will discover our traditions and I will give you advice that will help you better understand and taste the dishes of Oaxacan cuisine. When we prepare the mole, I will teach you how to select the best ingredients that have given Oaxacan mole worldwide fame and recognition. Please let me know in advance if you have dietary restrictions so I can adjust the menu so you can fully enjoy the experience.

It was one of the best things we did during our short stay in Oaxaca. From a typical salsa to a memela, to mole coloradito with fried plantains, it was a very pleasant experience thanks to Su. We were able to meet other people from different parts of the world and learn how to make some of the most popular dishes in the region. We will return again to try other dishes. Highly recommended!
For us it was a wonderful experience, we had a great time! Su is super friendly and we felt at home, the best thing is that it has many utensils then we all participated even if we were as a couple! Thank you Su!
Su and her team were welcoming and knowledgeable! Everything was well organized, including transportation. Class was very hands on and informative (both English and Spanish). We cooked as a team and enjoyed wonderful food together. Highly recommended!!
An excellent, in depth and hands on opportunity to learn about tradicional Oaxacan cuisine. The hosts were so kind, and encouraged everyone on the class to experiment with their own favorite flavors to make our experience special. I can’t wait to go home and try out my new cooking skills!
So happy we did this. Suzy (the chef) is so knowledgeable about the history of the food and culture around it. Made delicious salsas and learned the rules about what goes with what. The kitchen is the perfect set up and in the afternoon we made an incredible mole sauce. Highly recommend!
So glad we did this cook class, it was informative and fun. We got to do a lot of the prep work and got to fully appreciate the effort needed to make mole! Susana our host/chef and our translator was really friendly, and easy to communicate with. Would absolutely recommend this class… we had some of the best food!
This is a class where participants are involved in the entire preparation process, and it's always worth the effort to enjoy a delicious mole and Oaxacan cuisine! We're glad you enjoyed cooking with us as much as we did!
The food, the setting and the people made this experience one of mine and my husband’s favorites. Loved every minute of it!
I loved this cooking class. We learned to cook several authentic Oaxacan recipes in Su's beautiful, traditional kitchen. We shared breakfast, lunch, hot chocolate and alcoholic beverages, along with so many foodie facts and stories. So delicious. So much fun. Don't miss this one!
This was a fantastic experience. We learned to cook some authentic Oaxacan recipes, along with hot chocolate, alcohol beverages, foodie facts and stories- all set in a beautiful outdoor kitchen. Great food. Great company. Don't think twice about this one. It was the perfect day.
This was not just a cooking class, it was a wonderful experience. Setting was beautiful, outdoor kitchen was beautiful and the food was incredible. I highly recommend!
