I really enjoyed my class with Mike, and took away a lot more confidence and tips for back home. We even decided the menu around what I liked, and also what ingredients I should be able to find in Australia. I ended up being the only one there due to some late cancellations, so I got the opportunity to do the whole thing in Spanish which was great for my practice! I loved how we went to the garden to pick stuff, then walked out to the local market to buy things which we didn't have. It was a great experience reflecting making the most of farm and seasonal ingredients. In the end, I got to sit down and enjoy the meal with the whole family which was great given I was travelling solo. I looked at a few different tours, and I'm really glad this is the one I ended up picking.
Great experience, would...

Great experience, would recommend 100%. Chef was amazing, super hands on and knowledgeable about Oaxacan cooking methods. Welcomed us into his beautiful home and courtyard where we enjoyed many beautiful dishes we all enjoyed together. He even went as far as making sure we made our flight home on time and will remember the experience for many years to come.
Lots of hands on cooking...

Cheff Miguel Angel makes this experience unique and great. It is a brief tour from theory, the market and field to pick up the ingredients, to cooking Oaxaca food.
Expectations Exceeded!
