Class of Sauces and Tortillas in Mexico City
Overview
Available languages
2 hours 30 minutes
Mobile ticket
I learned to cook where the best Mexican cooks learn: next to my grandmother.
I haven't stopped since. I have degrees in bakery and pastries from the Cloister of Sister Joan, and I just finished studying gastronomy, and together with my mom we have a cafeteria in the city. The kitchen is not my job, it's my world.
I have been creating gastronomic experiences for travelers from all over the world for more than a year, and what matters most to me is not that you learn a recipe, but that when you finish you feel that in Mexico you will always have a friend.
Each experience is different because each person is different. Welcome to Mexico:)

What To Expect
What if your best memory of Mexico wasn’t a museum or a photo, but the moment you tasted a sauce you made yourself in a Mexican house? This experience begins where Mexican cuisine really begins: at the market. Together we go to the San Cosme Market, in the San Rafael colony, one of the most authentic in the city, to choose the ingredients with your own hands. Then we go to my house, enter my kitchen, prepare 4 sauces that summarize centuries of Mexican gastronomy: a frit, a fresh, a tatemada and a creamy. Each with a different technique, each with a story behind it. The menu is suitable for vegetarians and we can adapt it to any food restriction. When we finished, we sat down to eat what we cooked. With water from Jamaica. And with a mezcal in between, because that's how it's celebrated in Mexico. You go home with four recipes that you can replicate, and with the seasoning that you only learn by doing it.

5.00The class with Veronica was awesome. It felt very personal and we got lucky because it was just us in the class. I told her I was dying to get a molcajete and she helped me pick one from a vendor she knew when we went to the market. I could tell she is really passionate about food like me and enjoys transmitting her culture through the class. Would definitely recommend!
A great time

5.00It was a unique experience. Veronica is very nice and studied to be a chef - the course was very interesting and she explained a lot to us. The recipes were excellent!! We really enjoyed the experience of going to the market then making the recipes in his apartment, and being just our family. A unique experience! We recommend.

5.00My wife and I loved this class. Veronica shared a wealth of knowledge on how to make salsas. We learned how to make 4 different kinds. It was hands-on which I enjoyed immensely and the result was delicious. We particularly enjoyed the salsa macha.
One of a kind!

5.00Veronica is an amazing host and guide; she alone makes this experience top notch. We are still talking about how special this was one day later. Every salsa made was so delicious; we cancelled our dinner plans because we couldn’t stop eating it. Veronica did an exceptional job of explaining everything and making it accessible (for people who are less knowledgeable of cooking / salsas). We absolutely recommend this to anyone! This experience is perfect for people visiting who want to get a real taste of the culture of this city.
Great experience

5.00This was a great experience. I like at the beginning we went shopping for the ingredients. Really reminds how easy it is to get what you need. The actual salsa making occurs in her apartment so the vibe is comfortable and laid back. I’m not a huge spicy person but I could handle all of them.
Fun experience at the market and cooking
