This experience is so special and personal. It is a very authentic experience and is filled with a love for culture, traditions, cooking, community, and family. My family is now a part of Mimi’s family after our day spent together. The food and hospitality are one of a kind. Each part is hands on and very educational while bringing so much laughter to the experience. This is an experience I will treasure the memories forever.

Mimi and her son Carlos were very hospitable with our group making sure to translate in English for our non Spanish speaking people. The class was very good we came away with lots of talent in making tortillas, tamales, mole and salsa!! We sampled everything and came away stuffed. Mimi is a gracious hostess and I highly recommend taking her class!!

Such a wonderful experience with Mimi and her son Charlie! They were both so welcoming and the setting was ideal. Outside of Oaxaca City in Villa de Eltla, famous for cheese making.
We started off with introductions, Mimi was very good at remembering everyone’s name and made us feel at home! On to making salsa and then enjoying it with a breakfast Mimi had prepared for us along with hot chocolate and bread.
Then we made tamales, starting with all fresh ingredients. Each person was responsible for a specific task and then we all together assembled the tamales. Next we prepared mole, again everyone had a specific task. While the mole and tamales cooked we made fresh corn tortillas. After everything was completed we all sat down to enjoy our meal. Mimi and Charlie , throughout the day, shared stories of their village, their culture and their life. This tour and experience is well worth the cost and is highly recommended!

Parfait, merci encore !
