    About this tour, from the operator

    Cook alongside a culinary historian and university professor, in her beautiful home in San Ángel - one of Mexico City's most charming historic neighborhoods. More than a cooking class, this private experience explores the history, traditions, and regional flavors behind Mexico's most iconic dishes as you prepare seasonal recipes together using fresh local ingredients. You'll enjoy a hands-on experience, family recipes, and an authentic home-cooked meal - an interactive, intimate dining experience that's very different from eating at a restaurant.
