Experience the vibrant colours and bold flavours of Mexican cuisine with our A Taste of Mexico class—a celebration of authentic dishes and classic cooking techniques from across the country. Guided by expert chefs, you’ll discover a menu that balances zest, spice, and richness, giving you the skills to recreate Mexican favourites at home.
You’ll start with the bright and zingy freshness of Ceviche, a dish that captures the coastal heart of Mexican cooking. Then, dive into the comforting savoury richness of Cheesy Beef Quesadillas, before learning how to make Tortillas from scratch—the ultimate staple of any Mexican feast. You’ll also blend your own All-Purpose Mexican Spice Mix, and round off with the much-loved breakfast favourite, Huevos Rancheros.
The day begins with coffee and a relaxed chat with your chef, where you’ll hear about the dishes you’ll be making. Then it’s into the kitchen for a mix of demonstrations and hands-on cookery, where you’ll slice, stir, season, and cook your way to a flavour-filled Mexican spread.
At the heart of our classes is a focus on cooking techniques rather than just following recipes. You’ll work together with fellow food lovers in a warm and welcoming kitchen environment, building your skills with every dish you create. For some elements, we’ll prep a few things in advance so you can focus on the most rewarding parts of the process.
We don’t hand out recipes during the class so you can fully enjoy the experience, but we’ll send you a complete recipe pack by email afterwards. Our chefs are always happy to answer any questions during or after your class.
There will be a short break for lunch where you’ll head to the dining room to enjoy your culinary creations with a glass of wine or a soft drink.
