My daughter and I were delightfully surprised by the fun we had during this informative and delicious food class. It was a cozy group of Canadians who met for the first time in the taxi up to Jane's kitchen classroom. We enjoyed sweating over the stoves and savouring the street food we created with our own hands. We were also very impressed by Jane'a knowledge and passion for local history and the people of Mexico. We've already planned to come back and do another food class with Jane, this time with more of our family who were extremely jealous after hearing our experience. Highly recommend for anyone who loves food, history and adventures in local culture!

Jane is a wonderful and her cooking classes are a great way to spend a morning. My 15 year old daughter and I did the Street Food class and loved every minute of it. Not only did we learn to cook some delicious, flavourful and simple dishes we also learned some interesting facts about Mexican culture.
Thank you Jane. We will be back, and we will recommend Chilies and Chocolate to anyone that we know that is visiting the region.

We have been frequent visitors of the Huatulco community since 2010. We love local cuisine but have been hesitant to purchase from street vendors. Well all that changed through this tour experience. Our guide Carolina shared history of the region, her love of local foods and where it is sourced and all her favorite food stops. We enjoyed fresh dressed chips, ice cream, corn soup, tacos, churros, and mescal to round out the evening. I can now experience the square through a new set of eyes. Looking forward to experiencing the morning tour next.

This was our second time at the Village to Table dinner and both times were fantastic. It is a unique experience; you will not duplicate it anywhere else. In addition to eating so many local foods, you get to learn about their relationship to the history and culture of this area, and that is my favourite part. Also, our daughter and her husband participated in the seafood cooking class and said it was the best cooking class they had ever gone to. I highly recommend Chiles and Chocolate. It is worth the price!

At Chiles and Chocolate we learned to cook two types of mole, but the instruction went far beyond combining ingredients. The class involved an engaging discussion of the mix of cultures that make Mexican cuisine what it is today. My wife and I have taken a number of cooking classes and this one is truly excellent. I highly recommend taking a sun break and signing up!

We had a wonderful time during our stop in Huatalco. Jane met us after we exited the ship and walked us to Cafe Juanita. We went upstairs to her spotless kitchen where we learned to prepare homemade corn tortillas, red and green salsas, zucchinis and cream and (our favorite ) Jamaica Margaritas. She was so warm and friendly and the food she taught us to make was delicious.
Thank you, Jane, for a wonderful memory! We loved seeing your passion for your region and the food of the people.

We have done two seperate classes with Jane and Alfredo. Last year we took the "street food" class and this year we learned how to make mole. It has become our favorite day of vacation. Always so much fun to learn new recipes and meet new people. We love the hands on approach and love sitting and having a family style meal with the amazing food we made. We love to cook at home and have used the recipes they have given us to make for family and firends, they never disappoint. The added bonus is that Jane is the Fodors of Huatulco. She knows everyone and everything that's going on. She is a great resource to ask about what to do and where to go. This is a must do on your trip to Huatulco!

I had the opportunity (no...'pleasure' would be more accurate) to observe one of Jane's classes this week as part of my work.
While my role was that of "fly on the wall" and I didn't participate directly (well...except when a burning question arose...which was always addressed), I *did* get to participate in a different manner; I was able to watch...and I'm almost convinced I got more out of it than those who got their hands dirty.
What I saw was 6 unique, varied, personable, enthusiastic and *engaged* people having an amazing time together (and yes; that tally includes their host, Jane).
They laughed, constructed traditional cuisine, laughed, learned, discovered, laughed some more, ate their creations, and drank another.
As an observer, my impressions went from interested to fascinated to amused to jealous...and all warranted.
I watched the meal prepared, listened to the origins and history (both generational and current) of the dishes being prepared, as well as Jane's insight into the "bigger picture" of everything from the ingredients used, to the respect afforded to those who prepare Oaxacan cuisine.
Speaking of Jane...I've interviewed hundreds of people, and spoken to literally tens of thousands over the last 1 1/2 decades...but I have to say; she is easily amongst the ten most fascinating/engaging people I've met. A firecracker of a human being....she is instantly likeable and makes it impossible not to be drawn in by her passion and enthusiasm. It's obvious she loves what she does.

I recently went to Huatulco with friends and took a cooking class with Jane at Chilies & Chocolate. This was definitely one of the highlights of our fantastic trip! We took the fiesta class and the food was all absolutely delicious!!! Jane's teaching style was relaxed and fun. She is very knowledgeable about the Oaxacan culture and through the traditional cooking we learned a great deal about the region and people. I highly recommend a Chilies & Chocolate cooking class for your next trip to Huatulco!

We are coming on a cruise in April 2016 and want to know if someone meets us at the dock and takes you to the class. Or do you make your own arrangements.

Hi... sorry for the delay in answering. Yes, we meet you at the dock.
