The tour begins with a visit to a local market in Oaxaca City to select fresh produce and spices needed for the cooking class. After the market tour, participants return to Casa Crespo, where chef Oscar Carrizosa leads the session. Oscar, originally from the Mixteca region, shares recipes that reflect the culinary traditions of Oaxaca's 16 ethnic groups, using seasoning techniques passed down from his grandmother. The class lasts about four and a half hours and features a no set menu format. Participants choose what they want to prepare from options including three types of tortillas, three kinds of salsas, an appetizer, soup, mole, dessert, and a drink. Oscar explains how to identify the aromas and flavors of each dish during the preparation. All ingredients are provided, with vegetarian and gluten-free options available. Complimentary drinks are also included throughout the class.
Highlights
What's included
Itinerary
During the classes, everyone actively participates. The classes are not designed to simply observe and listen. There is a lot of work to be done: dice vegetables, peel seeds, fry, season, grind and sing…if you like. And nobody washes dishes. There are also vegetarian options to cook as well or dishes for special dietary restrictions. The class follows along with the chosen menu. The classes can be given in English or Spanish, depending on the group´s preference.
