Understand and enjoy Mexican cuisine more than ever with this market tour and cooking class!

On your ninety-minute tour of Roma’s Mercado Medellín, you’ll learn how ancient Mesoamerican ingredients and techniques shape the Mexican dishes we know today, and why the Spanish conquest of the country in the 16th century lead to an explosion of culinary creativity on both sides of the Atlantic.

Then, back at the beautiful Condesa home of your chef/ guide, you’ll prepare your favourite foods from fresh ingredients and with expert guidance. Prepare to get your hands dirty, as over around three hours, you’ll be making tamales, mole and tortillas, all from scratch! Dietary requirements will be accommodated, and small-brand Mexican beer and soft drinks will keep you hydrated.

Finally, you’ll enjoy the delicious fruits of your labour at a picture-perfect table laid with local linens and artisanal tableware. Reflect on the day’s experience over dessert and finish with a cup of Mexican wine and/ or mezcal.

Shorter classes also available. Please take a look at my activity provider page.
