What To Expect
In this hands-on cooking class, you’ll learn the basic techniques that Mexicans grow up mastering at home: How to make a basic green salsa, how to use fresh and dried chiles, how to handle corn masa and shape it with your hands, and how to cook nopales, among others. This is not just about teaching you recipes, it is about empowering you to feel confident about sharing the flavors of a world-honored culinary tradition, while having fun in a relaxed environment.
Step inside a professional working kitchen in the Narvarte neighborhood. Chef Ariane and her husband Said, a barista, own this specialty coffee shop. They have earned national recognition for their bread-making in 2024 and 2026. During business hours, they serve coffee, cocktails, baked goods, and savory dishes. In the same kitchen, she also teaches Mexican food classes to promote our cuisine and culture through an experience of flavors and ingredients.
