Great Day Cooking Together - We visited Mexico City for the first time last week and took a white mole cooking class with Kris from Aura. We had the best time together as a family. Her space is super cute, highly recommend for something to do in the city.

Authentic market visit and cooking class - Wonderful experience. Pamela was a wonderful guide through the market teaching us about the history of the ingredients we were about to cook with. The dishes we made were delicious and easy enough to cook again at home. Definitely recommend.

The BEST Mexican Cooking Class - This cooking class with Krystel was the highlight of our Mexico City vacation! From the moment you walk into the venue (beautifully decorated) you are welcomed and treated like truly special guests.
Krystel explains the dishes you’ll learn how to cook and what part of Mexico they’re from. Afterwards you head to the nearby market where all ingredients have been purchased fresh, and then return to the school to start preparing the different dishes. We learned how to make green and red salsa, Sopes, Tamales, white Mole, and corn cake - paired with wine or mezcal.
When all dishes are ready you sit down for a truly special meal! This cooking class is a MUST during your Mexico City vacation!

Highlight of our Mexico City Vacation! - My family and I (total 8 people) had an exceptional experience at the hands-on cooking class and market tour. The hospitality was outstanding - complimentary tea, coffee, agua fresca, and alcoholic beverages. Lorenna was incredibly friendly and personable, making us feel warmly welcomed. The cooking class was not only enjoyable but also highly engaging, and the four-course meal we prepared was exquisite. The venue was beautifully decorated and provided a perfect ambiance. I highly recommend this experience. 5/5 stars!
