A Family Tradition... in my cooking classes

The family cazuelas and clay pots on the kitchen wall today, during a class

From my earliest years, I watched my mother, my aunts and grandparents — from both sides of the family — in the kitchen. So I invite you to join me in tranquility — to take our aprons and spoons, to use the very fresh ingredients of our Mexican cuisine, and recreate together those delicious dishes that I learned from them, with love, tradition and fire.

Add to your culinary knowledge all “the best kept secrets” you always wondered about in Mexican cuisine: soups, Mexican sauces (salsas), adobos, pipianes, mole, Mexican rice, tamales, rajas de poblano con crema (roasted poblano strips in cream), hearty meat and other main dishes, ensalada de nopal, tinga and many more — all of them authentic Mexican recipes passed down in my family for over 200 years.
