Welcome to Josefina’s Cocina con Alma, where the soul of Mexican cooking comes to life. In this immersive cooking class, you’ll delve into the rich tapestry of Mexican culinary traditions. Josefina, with her deep knowledge of the cuisine, will be your guide to the vibrant world of Mexican flavors.

The journey begins with a visit to “El Mercado,” a bustling local market where you’ll meet the friendly vendors and learn about the freshest and ripest ingredients. It’s also an opportunity to expand your Spanish vocabulary and capture some memorable photos of the bustling market scene.

Back in the kitchen, Josefina will provide a 101 on Mexican cooking tools, including how to use molcajetes, lime presses, tortilla presses, and the comal. Each class is tailored to your needs, experience level, and dietary preferences. If you have allergies, please let us know in advance so that suitable substitutions can be made.

You’ll also have the chance to learn the art of making real Margaritas and traditional Mexican agua frescas, such as Jamaica and Horchata. Then, it’s time to roll up your sleeves and get hands-on with creating Mexican delights. You’ll make handmade tortillas (an expert tortilla maker can pat a tortilla paper-thin by hand), traditional Mexican sauces, guacamole, side dishes, and more. By the end of the class, you’ll be ready to feast like a Mayan god.
