May be the best excursion ever!

Our instructor, Elias, was an amazing teacher. He was so knowledgeable about the history of this Mayan delicacy and made the experience so much fun with the trip to the mercado to shop for the ingredients we would need to make our own Mole to take home. It was a history lesson in action and done with an incredible sense of humor! I highly recommend this to anyone wanting knowledge, hands-on cooking and pure fun.

This was a wonderful experience, learning about all that goes into making mole sauce. Our guide and chef,Elias, was very knowledgeable and an expert on all the ingredients. Our time at the market was very informative, and all of us had hands-on experience during the cooking. And then we got to eat chicken with mole with Spanish rice afterwards. Very impressive class and so much fun. We also each got a jar of the mole sauce we made. Take this class, he won’t be disappointed.

Great experience! We had no idea how many ingredients were involved and the many different steps in the cooking process. We enjoyed the local market, the history shared by Martin our host. Eating our homemade mole was the perfect finale!
