We enjoyed this so much! Lucia provided a thoughtful and personalized experience for us and was a delightful host all around. She incorporated her many years of gastronomic teaching experience and shared historical insights as she invited us to chop, smash, blend, sauté, assemble (etc.) fresh ingredients to create a delicious and authentic meal in her beautiful home! It was a wonderful experience, and I highly recommend it to travelers who want to lmdive deeper into the culture and history of Mexican cuisine. *Added bonus is the nearby San Angel art market which occurs on Saturdays. Truly a delight for the senses!

Wonderful experience with a lovely home cook! We enjoyed a generous meal and learned so much preparing it. A highlight of our time in Mexico City. We got to tour a different part of the city, learn from our guide about her life and family and neighborhood, tour the food markets and learn about the food, and enjoy the cooking experience. We learned how to make mole, quesadillas and arepas, work with zucchini blossoms, and make Mexican flan. We had a delicious meal together in her garden with a view. Highly recommend for couples or families with kids who are old enough to enjoy working in the kitchen.

We had such a wonderful time visiting with Lucia and learning from her! She is warm and welcoming and her recipes were delicious- I definitely will be making them again and again at home! Lucia made it feel like we were neighbors just stopping by for a visit❤️
