Absolutely wonderful . David is so knowledgeable and we learned so much. Loved the recipes that we made and it was so great hearing about all the food history. Enjoyed cooking and seeing David's garden. Like to get him my email so he can send me the recipes we made together. He sent me a request for the email on Viator.

This was the most exceptional cooking. class I have ever attended. (And I have attended many.) Chef David was such a great teacher. I can't believe how much he improved my knife game after a single session! He was warm and friendly, knowledgeable and kind, the food we made together was delicious and I can't wait to repeat the recipes now that I'm back home!

David is a wonderful chef/teacher,
food culture and gastronomy university professor, and food historian. I learned, I cooked, I honed my knife skills, and I ate magnificent food that I can recreate for my family and friends all in his home kitchen. A wonderful experience.

We so appreciate the chef for opening his home to us. The food was delicious. The experience was extraordinary. David is an educator - we learned to cook but we learned so much more about Mexico, the history of food in Mexico, etc. we appreciated his emphasis on healthy eating! Thank you.

This was a great experience to end my trip.. Chef David was very knowledgeable, explained the ingredients and process for making each dish.
The ingredients were so fresh and the menu was unique to the culture and each recipe was delicious.
I learned a lot and highly recommend this class to everyone who loves to cook!

It’s a must do if you want to really understand the Mexican food and culture. The Chef welcomed us warmly into his home with his lovely family making fun appearances. The food is divine and the information he imparted on us is incredible. We would come back again and again. Don’t bother making dinner reservations- you will be full for the rest of the night

Chef David is an amazing instructor. He’s originally from Germany. His knowledge of foods and the history of how they came from and to various parts of the world added to our enjoyment of the class. The recipes he chose to teach were delicious we made everything with all fresh ingredients. I highly recommend this class to anyone wanting to take a cooking class. David is the only certified chef in San Miguel with many years of experience.

Prepare to learn (and eat) from a very personable, talented Chef! Chef David gave me an in-depth history of contributions Mexico has given to the worlds food development. Then we began cooking. Chef David showed me several types of dried peppers from serrano to guajillo to ancho and then we started chopping and creating! From a base of Chicken broth to authentic Tortilla soup to Snapper Veracruz to Enchiladas Verde and then desert! I'll never be the chef he is but I learned many techniques I can use in everyday cooking. He also has an amazing garden which we picked from for our dishes. Once our class was finished, he sent me ALL of the recipes we cooked. Whether you are a foodie or just hungry, you can't miss with Chef David!
