Sazon is a beautiful space to enjoy the enthusiasm and knowledge of Chef Emanuel. The market tour was invaluable since the local ingredients, such as huitlacoche and squash blossoms, were new to us.

Chef Emanuel took us to the market, had us taste different foods whether we were going to cook them or not, explained the different produce and foods to us, and went out of his way to help me purchase food that had nothing to do with the class.
