Overview

This six-hour cooking class takes place at Minerva Lopez's home near Oaxaca City, where she shares over 40 years of experience in traditional and pre-Hispanic Oaxacan cooking. The day begins with a visit to Oaxaca's largest local market, where fresh and organic ingredients are purchased. This market is frequented by locals rather than tourists, and the menu can be adjusted for vegetarian, vegan, or meat preferences. After the market visit, the class moves to Minerva’s family home outside the city, where all dishes are prepared on an outdoor wood stove. Participants cook alongside Minerva in a small group setting that creates an intimate, family-like atmosphere. The meal prepared during the class is eaten on site and includes lunch, seasonal dessert, snacks, and seasonal fruit waters. The class vehicle has air conditioning for comfort, and alcoholic beverages are provided, although beer or soda are not included. This cooking class emphasizes learning traditional methods and recipes in a home environment rather than a restaurant setting.
