We had so much fun! Even though we had never met Adhey and Enrique before, it felt like a night with good friends, good food, and good drinks, with excellent cooking tips and recipes thrown in. I would definitely recommend the experience!

Cooking Oaxacan family style!

Kathleen_S, Apr 2024

Very authentic Oaxacan cooking experience. Immersive cooking class where everyone is involved. Loved our chef and her husband and family. A must do in Oaxaca!! Best food we had during our stay.

Delicius ans fun evening !!

Susanne_B, Apr 2024

Loved cooking outside and enjoying her grandmother’s secret ingredients. The hostess promised to send us her chili relleno recipe .. which we made. I hope she will follow through and send it to us as promised

Una riqueza de cultura y Diversión !

Maxwell_D, Mar 2024

The energy that this family brought was absolutely invigorating. They were so much fun with tons of personality, they made us feel right at home. The introduction to so many foods and fruits was an incredible experience. The rooftop area with the brasero that we cooked over was also so much fun. Fun to dance and stoke the fire and cook all in one! Best meal in Oaxaca, and Oaxaca is the food capital of Mexico! It truly is something so special to share the roots of Oaxacan culture in a Oaxacan household, something you cannot get eating out in the city. Couldn’t recommend this experience enough!!!

Highlight of our visit

What a fantastic cooking...

Katharine_H, Feb 2024

What a fantastic cooking experience! It was family-oriented, fun and informative. We ended up eating a delicious dinner on their upper terrace. Both Adhey and Enrique are over the top hosts- friendly, fun and good teachers. I would highly recommend their cooking school/ experience.

Great evening cooking class

Lionel_P, Jan 2024

Hands-on course taking place in a beautiful traditional open kitchen on a rooftop. Adhey was a fun and dedicated teacher. We went in detail through each step and product for a whole traditional menu, chopped, charred, and peeled so many varieties of veggies while sipping a few beers and a little mezcal. The final result was outstanding.

Just do it!

This was such a great experience. A chance to cook with a Oaxacan original and chef Aday. Her and her husband were so welcoming, warm and genuine. The food was excellent as well as instruction along the way.

We had a wonderful...

Fabulous Oaxacan Cooking Class

Julien_C, Jul 2023

We had an incredible time cooking with Chef Adhey on her rooftop terrace. She thoughtfully explained about Oaxacan cuisine while allowing everyone to participate in the cooking process. We used a traditional comal to make intricate salsas and incredible chile rellenos while learning her secret to make them fluffy. Her beautiful spirit enhanced the class along with her husband as an assistant. I highly recommend this experience in Oaxaca.
