Traditional Mexican Cooking Class in a Beautiful Home

Posted By : Christopher_H
My partner and I had an absolutely wonderful time cooking with Margarita! She was very warm, and knowledgeable, and I really enjoyed our chats, and meeting her beautiful dog, Lola. The procession of the day was great, starting with traditional Sopes entrées, followed by stuffed peppers & a fried rice for lunch, and an elegant dessert, with guava & berry compote. The ingredients were so fresh, and every bite was delicious! Margarita's hospitality was wonderful, and she went into well considered detail about the process & describing the ingredients we might be able to substitute at home if needed.
Her home was so beautiful also. We sat outside in her backyard, had some drinks together, and it was such a perfectly intimate occasion, and definitely one of my highlights for our holiday. Looking forward to making these recipes at home!

The best experience we could have asked for to kick off our México City trip. Margarita was a wonderful host. We made delicious traditional dishes and had wonderful drinks in her beautiful home. We cannot recommend this cooking class enough. Truly an amazing experience start to finish.

Margarita was an amazing host. My girlfriend and I had a wonderful time with her and almost could not leave her house. She had a genuine interest for getting to know us and sharing her knowledge about Mexican food and cuisine. The meals we made were simple, yet very rewarding to learn because they were things none of us had made before and could pretty easily recreate at home. She is also trained as a food stylist, so everything from the plates to the table to her house were very pretty! All in all, a great experience. Thank you Margarita!

This was such an amazing experience! Margarita was such a lovely host, great food, great conversation and her home is lovely. We are already talking about joining her again during Día de los Muertos. I have lots of food allergies and Margarita was very accommodating and our food was incredible. 5 stars all around!!!! Do make sure you contact her before the day of so she knows about any food aversions and she can help with directions, as CDMX geography can be a bit tricky.

This was one of the best foreign cooking classes I have ever taken. Margarita is a fantastic, warm and inviting host. I loved being in her home and hearing her stories about life in Mexico city. I took the class w/ my friend from Venezuela in Margarita's kitchen. The experience was just for the two of us. The personal touch and feeling like a family friend made this experience very memorable. I also loved her teaching style- having us pay attention to textures, smells, and colors to know when things are ready versus having us just prep or do simple steps and later give a recipe. I really feel like I can make these dishes at home! And, of course, the food was amazing. We were taught how to make almond mole and it was the best mole I've ever had. The dessert was also perfect, not too sweet, using fresh fruits and cream filling. She was also generous to share some Mexican wines with us. I cannot say enough about this experience! Highly recommended. When I find myself back in CDMX I will take another class with her to learn something different. Muchisimas gracias Margarita- Carlos y Erin

Such a lovely experience with Margherita in her home in San Angel. She was an excellent teacher and we had a wonderful time cooking lunch with her.

Just amazing!!!
We chose this experience as a birthday gift and it was the best! Margarita welcomed us to her beautiful home as she took the time to share her wisdom in teaching us how to cook traditional Mexican food! She was extremely organized as she had prepped a lot of the food! She would model what we had to do and encourage us to try our best in making it! We ate our food in her beautiful garden! She will e-mail all recipes that we practiced and definitely keep in touch! We whole-heartely recommend this experience!

We had a wonderful time and loved learning new, delicious, recipes! Our host was lovely and her home beautiful. She was also great with the 9-year-old in our group, who had a great time too

Have been eating out every day on our CDMX vacation so a great change up to cook our own food. Great way to chop, prepare, cook, and eat as a family (with 2 teenagers) with Margarita and the lovely dog Lola in a lovely residential area. Ingredients were mostly prepared but still had few final preps. The kids chipped i. Which normally they would not. Learned a few thing to take with us in our own cooking. Great experience and especially on a US Thanksgiving Day.

My partner and I booked this class with Margarita this past August and had an amazing time! we chose to do a private class as I am no chef and wanted to ensure I could ask as many questions as possible and not feel left behind. Margarita is incredibly knowledgeable and patient and we really enjoyed the class. Margaritas neighbourhood was also interesting to visit. We left totally full, learned a lot and she also sends you the recipes so you can cook these dishes at home! Would definitely recommend!
