An excellent practical introduction to Mexican cooking - We presented Juli with a problem at the start. When we arrived my friend, who had a bit of a stomach bug, could not face cooking and sat out through the evening. However, Juli wasn't put out at all and I managed, with a bit of assistance, to cook 7 typical dishes plus enough blue maize tortillas for a meal for two. I have a much clearer idea of the strength of chiles, how to make much more tasty and interesting guacamole etc. I particularly interested in knowing how to use nopales in salad. I doubt I will be able to get prepared and edible "pads" from prickly pears in England but I might try to find some next time I am in London. It was very hands on and practical and an excellent and enjoyable practical introduction to Mexican cooking.

Highly recommend! - Not only did Julieta give us her own personal insights into her culture but showed us first hand authentic Mexican dishes. We were not new to the cooking class concept and it still exceeded our expectations. I believe this is a must-do if you are visiting the area. I am excited to continue talking to Julieta about ur her future endeavors and wish her the best!

You will love it! - This was a wonderful experience. Julieta and Toni were fun to work with and made us feel right at home. They are incredibly organized and professional, got us cooking right away and from the start we were busy talking and learning. I have tried making various Mexican salsas before and never been satisfied with the way they turned out. With 4 simple ingredients Julieta showed us how to make the freshest, most delicious salsa verde and then she told us how to easily make variations on this theme. We made chicken tinga, tasting this sauce at several stages during the cooking process to learn how the flavor changes. I feel confident I can easily and quickly make this sauce and use it with both meats and vegetables. Another favorite and eye-opening dish was learning to make nopale salad using Julieta’s preferred technique. Along with cooking we learned a lot about Mexican street food, how to pick the best vendors and more. The skills we learned in this class will be put to use often in our home kitchen. Highly recommended.
