What to expect

Meet Margarita at her home and then drive to her local covered market five minutes away. San Angel is a typical neighborhood market in Mexico where most locals will go to buy their groceries. Margarita will introduce you to some of the local fruits and vegetables and then you will purchase some of the ingredients you will use together in your cooking class. After your tour, head to Margarita's home on a typical residential street of Mexico City’s Tlacopac San Ángel neighborhood. Enjoy a welcome drink and appetizers as you begin your cooking class, during which you will learn to make 2-3 traditional Mexican dishes. Learn to make tortillas from scratch, a traditional soup such as creamy chorizo-bean soup or tortilla soup, and a main dish such as chile rellenos or pork tenderloin in tamarind sauce. Then sit down together to enjoy your meal at Margarita’s dining table or, in warm summer months, outdoors in Margarita’s garden. End your meal with a traditional rice pudding or a spicy chocolate mousse and coffee or tea.
