5.00We enjoyed our salsa making class immensely! Miel and Sylvia were knowledgeable, fun, and patient. They shared loads of interesting information about the history of the ingredients. The salsas we made were delicious and I learned some tricks for prepping ingredients that will be game changers in my kitchen. I highly, highly recommend the class and any other future offerings from this dynamic duo!

5.00This was such a great experience. It was informative and hands-on. We had four people in our group, and everyone participated. Miel and Silvia spent a little bit of time educating us, then we got to work. Over the two hours, we made 5 different salsas. The salsas will vary based upon the time of the year. Ours featured fresh fruit (mango and pineapple) as well as traditional guacamole as well as a spicy topping that was so good the following day. I would suggest doing this early in your trip as you will leave with all of the salsas that you make as well as the recipes. So much fun!
