Traditional Oaxaqueña Cooking with Grandma's Recipes
Description
We welcome you into our home with open arms! Immediately, you will feel part of our family and our traditions. We begin our welcome, the same way my abuela did with me, with hot chocolate and pan. I love to share my stories and traditions of my culture with you. Classes can be in spanish or english. Our class will take place in our beautiful outdoor kitchen, located on our terrace. You will learn to prepare food and cook in a traditional Oaxaqueña kitchen, called a brasero - a traditional brick stove, with open fire. We will get busy in a hands-on cooking experience where you will learn to prepare appetizers, traditional drinks, salsas and main dishes. In the culmination of our hard work, we will share in a group meal around the table with food, drink, stories, laughter, love and of course, mezcal. We look forward to connecting with you over food and flavor; one of my cultures oldest traditions.

Chef Adhey Andrade and her husband Enrique felt like family by the end of this cooking class! We cooked delicious food together, shared stories and genuinely had the best time! I would 10000% recommend this class. It’s authentic and an absolute blast :)
This 100% hands-on cooking class is an absolute must-do in Centro, Oaxaca. You will learn the secrets to roasting and peeling poblano peppers, mastering the perfect fluffy egg batter, and crafting authentic, stone-ground salsas. It is the perfect blend of cultural immersion and culinary education.
Chef Adhey and Enrique made the entire experience very enjoyable. From the moment enrique picked us up from the meeting point until the end, he was entertaining. Chef Adhey also explained to us Oaxacan tradition and told us about her abuelitas and their recipe. The cooking process was fun and Chef Adhey made us cook on our own which was exactly what we wanted. On top of that, Enrique made sure we had more than enough drinks throughout the experience. In the end we all sat together and ate the food we cooked, it was very nice to sit together with oaxacans at their home. Highly recommended.

A wonderful experience with Chef Adhya and Enrique. We enjoyed ourselves very much and brought back great memories.
This cooking class experience was amazing! Adhey, Enrique and family welcomed us into their home with open arms and genuine smiles. We were fortunate enough to be the only 3 people in attendance so we were treated to personal hospitality, delicious food and a fun evening! Learning to cook the dishes was only one part of the night - Adhey and Enrique were so interested in hearing about us (New Zealand culture) and created a wonderful experience we won’t soon forget. Gracias!
The cooking experience with chef Adhey and Enrique was amazing! They teach you to make a range of different Mexican cuisines that are not only delicious but useful in cooking back home. We also tasted different fruits and traditional Oaxacan chocolate along with plenty of cerveza and mezcal. This experience was everything we were looking for as Enrique and Adhey were so nice and welcoming. Their cooking class is well worth the price!
This is a must for anyone interested in Oaxacan food. It was a fun, hands-on experience and the entire host family was very friendly and interesting to talk to.
10/10 experience. Great food and hosts! wonderful family, clean place and lots of yum food
We had such an incredible time at Adhey’s cooking class yesterday- the best day we’ve had in Mexico so far. You get to make and try a variety of delicious dishes including salsas, guacamole and a chicken dish. In addition to the food itself it was lovely spending time with Adhey and her wonderful family and finding out more about Oaxacan culture. The drinks were flowing and we had a really fun time meeting other travellers from across the globe. For a truly authentic experience I can’t recommend this highly enough.
