Amazing experience! - We took a cooking class in Oaxaca with Chef Oswaldo and absolutely loved it. We had a great time learning how to make traditional dishes like mole and handmade tortillas in a fun, hands-on way.
Chef Oswaldo is passionate, knowledgeable, and creates a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere. We highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Oaxaca who wants an authentic and enjoyable introduction to local cuisine.

Really wonderful cooking... - Really wonderful cooking class with Oswaldo. Thanks to Oswaldo being very organized, we learned how to make more dishes than I would’ve thought possible with the time we had (mole, salsa, tortillas, memelas, and tamales) and we were all involved in the preparation steps. Oswaldo did a great job of engaging everybody, explaining the cultural context of each dish, and giving clear instructions that were easy to follow. The ingredients were fresh and delicious, and we came away with a recipe book. All of the recipes used ingredients you could find fairly easily in most countries.
My dad and I both agreed that this was the best meal we ate in Oaxaca!

Outstanding cooking and eating! - This experience was a highlight of a wonderful city. The chef, Oswaldo Ramirez presented wonderful lessons on the foods of Oaxaca City, was joyful in his presentation. The outdoor courtyard for cooking was beautiful. Highly recommend.

AMAZING Experience - The most AMAZING class! Oswaldo, a bona fide chef, makes this a hands on experience. We made real tortillas, chocolate tamales and a chicken mole that was to die for. It's fun, informative, delicious and when you finish you eat the deliciousness you created under Oswaldo's careful eye and helpful hand. Of the many classes my wife and I have taken, this was easily the most superior. If you love to cook and you love authentic Oaxacan food, this class is for you. Don't miss this unique and wonderful opportunity.

Comprehensive and convenient intro to Oaxacan cooking! - This is a wonderful cooking class located just a few blocks from Santo Domingo cathedral. We got to learn about traditional Oaxacan cooking techniques in a beautiful courtyard. Oswaldo is very knowledgeable and fun. He answered many questions from our inquisitive group. He was also very mindful and accommodating of the allergies and dietary restrictions in the group.

Great experience - My fiancé and I had a great afternoon. The location was lovely and Oswaldo provided a fantastic experience. The menu covered all the Oaxacan highlights. The food we made was lovely, and as a coeliac I really loved being able to try mole. Would recommend.
