This experience was so special! I would definitely recommened to anyone! For starters, Martha is a wonderful, sweet, and very welcoming woman who made me feel right at home in her home and helped me learn so much about how to cook authentic Mexican dishes. We had such a wonderful time together, from venturing through the market and buying ingredients, preparing many delicious dishes, and eating our creations together at her beautifully set table.
Response from Host, Jul 2025

Mary's is so warm and inviting! The market visit was fun and informative. Cooking in Marta's lovely home was a fantastic experience, and the dishes we prepared were unique and delightful. Would absolutely recommend this class to folks looking to learn about traditional Mexican foods.

It was beyond amazing. There are not enough words to describe the experience. The food was just delicious. We learned so much about ingredients, history, culture, tequila and so much more. We had the pleasure of meeting her husband who made us feel at home. Their sense of humor and warmth made us feel that we would be friends forever. We want them to visit us in NY to stay with us — this is how wonderful they made us feel. Her price is way less than what she gives you in return — lots of food, knowledge, tequila, wine and warmth. Thank you so much. I can’t wait to be back!

I had an amazing experience! Martha and her family welcomed me into their home and hosted this cooking class with warmth. The pre-Hispanic food was delicious and the cooking instruction was very informative. I highly recommend this class for the culinary and cultural experience!

Martha is an amazing hostess and teacher. She approaches cooking as an act of love and the experience is infused with that. Learnef about the culinary history of mexico from prehispankc times up to the present day with recipies that have evolved over time.
