Contemporary Mexican Cooking with Award-Winning Chefs

Mariana and Geraldine will guide you on a visit to the vibrant Melchor Múzquiz market, located just a short walk from their home. This lively neighborhood market offers everything from fresh meats, fruits, vegetables, and aromatic spices to colorful chiles, flowers, prepared foods, and even clothing. Spend 30–45 minutes exploring the stalls alongside your hosts, gaining insight into the ingredients that define traditional Mexican cuisine. If you've also booked a cooking class, you’ll pick up a few fresh ingredients needed for your meal before returning home to start your hands-on culinary experience.

On Saturdays, there’s also the option to visit the Bazar del Sábado, a charming arts and crafts market within walking distance. If you’d like to explore this artisan market - either in addition to or instead of the produce market - please let us know your preference when booking.

Join Mariana and Geraldine in their home kitchen for a hands-on cooking class in Mexico City, where you'll learn to prepare 2 - 3 of the delicious dishes you'll later enjoy at the table. Your class blends hands-on instruction with expert demonstrations, offering the perfect balance of learning and fun. Expect to spend 1–2 hours cooking before sitting down to share the meal you've helped create, accompanied by lively conversation with your hosts. In this immersive culinary experience, you might learn to make traditional Mexican sopes with chorizo and chicken, quesadillas filled with zucchini flowers and fresh Oaxaca cheese, spicy salsas, and fresh guacamole.
Please note: Mariana and Geraldine can tailor the class to your preferences - whether you’d like to prepare the full menu or focus on a few select dishes, just let them know when booking.

This Mexico City cooking experience is ideal for food lovers, home cooks, professional chefs, or anyone eager to explore both traditional and modern Mexican cuisine under the guidance of award-winning culinary experts.

Your home dining experience in Mexico City will take place at Geraldine’s beautiful family home, located in the elegant and historic neighborhood of San Ángel. Upon arrival, you'll be welcomed with a refreshing drink as Geraldine and Mariana share stories of their work as professional food stylists and the rich culinary heritage of Mexican cuisine. You’ll then be invited to dine in their garden, a serene green oasis where the table is set for a memorable meal. Mariana and Geraldine will prepare a traditional Mexican feast infused with their signature modern flair. You might enjoy dishes such as cochinita pibil (slow-roasted pork), sopes (savory corn cakes), quesadillas, chiles en nogada (stuffed poblano peppers in walnut sauce), or pork tenderloin with tamarind sauce and Mexican rice. Your meal will conclude with one of their beloved desserts - perhaps a tres leches cake, creamy flan, or arroz con leche (Mexican rice pudding). Tea and coffee are available upon request.
