A wonderful experience by wonderful people - It's hard to put into words the joy and kindness Chef Adhey Andrade and her husband brought to this experience. Being welcomed into someone's home and having her share so much of her cultural history, while having such a great time was an absolute treat. I highly, highly recommend you chose this culinary experience. Working in a traditional indigenous kitchen using traditional tools and foods, on a terrace overlooking the city.....nothing can compare. This was great and great fun!

Would do it again, highly reccomend. - Cooking with Chef Adhey was an amazing time. She is very welcoming, has a great sense of humor, and teaches with clarity. I took this class to further explore traditional styles of Oaxacan cooking as they can vary depending on the region you are in. As someone with Oaxacan parents I’ve been exposed to these styles my whole life and continue to learn how names for ingredients, styles, and methods vary depending on region and personal preferences. Chef Adhey has a wonderful depth of knowledge, which makes for an interactive experience. If you love learning, cooking, and laughing I highly recommend you book this experience. I hope to share another meal and more laughter with Chef Adhey and her husband Enrique again soon.

A Must-Do Experience! - My wife and I had the most amazing cooking class with Adhey and Enrique! (And Pedra) Not only did we learn to cook amazing oaxaqueño dishes but we also got to know so much more about the culture and community outside of the city center. If you want a special, personal experience on your vacation then visiting Adhey and her family is a must! ¡Provecho!

Wonderful People, Wonderful Food - I would give this 6+ stars if I could. Chef Adhey and her family are wonderfully engaging, welcoming, big-hearted people. They take you into their own home and walk you through how to cook delightful Oaxacan dishes from beginning to end. They teach you about the instruments/tools, techniques, desired outcomes, everything you could want from a cooking class; and, along the way, they treat you as honored guests. Absolutely wonderful hosts. Not to mention, the food is absolutely excellent. You will not leave hungry or wanting for anything more. We did a lot during our visit to Oaxaca and had many delightful experiences with wonderful people; this experience, however, stood apart and was my personal favorite. An absolute must-do for anyone visiting Oaxaca.

The best cooking class - Adhey is super cute 😍 she and her husband made my 5 friends and I feel like family. The food was delicious, the laughter was never lacking, it was like cooking with the family in a very fun way 🥰 We changed a tour to be able to attend the cooking class and it was the best decision. We are all sure that this cooking class was our favorite part of the trip to Oaxaca. We look forward to Adhey and his family visiting us in New Zealand very soon.

Best experience of my trip to Mexico. - Normally I avoid tours and planned activities on a trip. In this case I had only a couple of days in Oaxaca and on a spontaneous decision signed up for Adhey’s cooking program. Really glad I did. First Adhey and Enrique are delightful people who were welcoming and fun to be with. They made me feel comfortable and engaged immediately. We all did the prep work and cooking together. The meal we prepared was delicious and memorable. Definitely do this if you have a chance.
