The class runs hands-on from start to finish, includes all ingredients and beverages, and transport to and from your hotel.Is it for me?Book this if you want to cook in an actual home kitchen with someone who learned these recipes from family, not from a culinary school — the informal setting and the shared meal afterward are what make it feel like you've been invited in, not enrolled in a class.
Oaxaca: Cooking Class & Market Tour with Chef OscarYou’ll meet chef Oscar in Oaxaca and start by shopping local markets for fresh ingredients together before heading into his kitchen to cook as a group—no set menu here, so you help decide what’s on the table.
