So good I wonder if I can fly Miguel up to cook for a holiday party - What a wonderful finale to our time in San Miguel. An absolutely lovely setting, the food was fantastic, Miguel was a terrific teacher and chef. I have taken a lot of cooking classes and I think this might be the best one ever. Thanks Chef Miguel!

Highly recommend Chef Miguel's Mole and Salsa class! - We had a great time learning to make 2 salsa, one rice dish and amazing mole sauce! Chef Miguel was very knowledgeable as well as entertaining. We booked this fun experience for our wedding anniversary and it turned out...another couple were celebrating their anniversary also! So, we had champagne and red wine! Great time had by all and a wonderful meal that we just created! Thank you Chef Miguel!

The Joy and Love of Mexican Cooking - Chef Miguel was fantastic! He really enjoys teaching the joys of cooking authentic Mexican food. The setting is beautiful (one minute you're on a busy cobble stoned street, and the next - once behind the walls - you're in this tranquil courtyard and home), and Miguel's passion for cooking (using his Abuela's recipes, of course) comes through from the moment he introduces himself. I could not recommend this experience more highly!

Mole and wine! - Wow! What a terrific afternoon cooking with Chef Miguel. Not only was the food delicious, but Miguel was also thoroughly entertaining. Everyone in our group of five participated in preparing traditional salsas and mole then enjoyed the fruits of our labor with a bit of wine. Definitely recommend this experience.

Mole with Miguel. - The cooking class with Miguel was the highlight of our trip! He was an exceptional host and teacher. Miguel not only taught us how to prepare a delicious meal, but also enriched the experience by sharing the cultural significance of Mexican cuisine and the fascinating history of mole. This class was both educational and incredibly fun. Highly recommend!

Don’t miss this!! - This is a one-of-a-kind experience and worth every penny! Miquel is deeply knowledgeable about Mexican cuisine and its origins, is a charming teacher, and funny to boot! He had us chopping and stirring and seasoning right away and we enjoyed getting to know some new acquaintances while we did it. My husband commented to me halfway through the afternoon that it was the best thing we’d done in Mexico! Grab the chance. The food and the fun are unforgettable!

Enjoy an authentic experience. - Miguel’s class to make mole offered generous information for ingredients and technique. His love of Mexican culture was eloquently stated in words, with huge smiles, and ended with a walk in the garden, which provides fabulous herbs and vegetables for cooking. Our group of six shared all the tasks that led to a splendid meal and plenty of wine served on the terrace in a beautiful and inviting home in the heart of San Miguel. Thank Miguel. Your cooking skills and warm personality made this a memorable portion of our trip. Linda Fantuzzo
