This was our second time to do this experience and I can't wait to do it again! This by far has been the high point two times now for us. Food tells the story of an area and its people, and this experience helps bring that home as you shop with the locals, and then go to the chef's home to prepare the food and learn about the origins of the recipes you are working on.
Issi was a gracious host, an exceptional chef, and a delightful conversationalist. Everything you want when you're spending the day with someone. We prepared chicken with mole, guacamole, homemade tortillas, puffy tacos, salsa, and of course, margaritas. Everything was so delicious! By the time we went to bed that night, we'd already received an email with recipes for the food we'd prepared, as well as other dishes that are done on other tour days.
In Mexico, family is at the core of all that they do. When you leave this experience, you feel like family, and that is a beautiful feeling. Thank you Issi, and family for a delightful afternoon.
