Hola y muy bienvenidos! As in all cultures, those born and raised in the society are the best source of knowledge about traditions. As a Mexican native, I inherited my Mexican cuisine knowledge from my previous generations. And my passion too! From my earliest years, I watched my mother, my aunts and grandparents in the kitchen, so I invite you to join me in tranquility to take our aprons and spoons, to use the very fresh ingredients of our Mexican Cuisine, and recreate together those delicious dishes. I love sharing my knowledge about one of the most varied and delicious cuisines in the world. I take pride in customizing my classes to suit the needs of all students -that don't have to stick to a fix classes program calendar- in my cozy kitchen with its antique Mexican molcajetes and metates. Just contact us to arrange your own hands-on class with a maximum of 4 students per class to insure individualized attention to each. Classes are from Monday to Friday, starting at 10:00 am. A special schedule can be arranged for private groups. A minimum number students apply for each class. We offer open custom classes for short stay students and professional intensive courses.

Thank you for your kind words! As in any new skill, making rice is a challenge for any cook. I´m sure that you will have a delicous one after several practices. I am realy proud of you!

The meal really had no flavor, nothing special. Too warm in her kitchen, no bottled water, no aprons. Not inspiring or friendly.

My mom and I attended a class with Marilau. I found her to be unfriendly and militant. Zero warmth. Did not introduce herself or even inquire as to our names once we arrived. The cooking instruction is good. But the class felt rushed. So different...More
