What a wonderful experience to really learn the secrets of making mole. Lorena taught us by having us do the actually cooking. She is patient and an excellent instructor. We had a translator but honestly so much was gained just watching her. The lesson was at her home in a special building built for classes set right in their garden/yard. After we cookend, we all enjoyed a meal together including her husband. Such as incredible experience and so much better than many cooking classes held in "institutional settings." Lorena is part of a group of 100 women who are preserving the traditions of Oaxacan cooking.
we honestly had the best tour guides for both outings…well informed, engaging and not just speaking at us. very professional and organized…highly recommend.
