Thank you for your interest in my cooking classes! I am an international chef, cooking instructor and have studied regional Mexican cuisine for over 25 years. For the past ten years I have been a full-time resident of San Miguel de Allende. In this picturesque and historic colonial town in the mountains of central Mexico I offer visitors the complete San Miguel de Allende Culinary Experience at "La Piña Azul Escuela de Cocina". My teachers range from many Mexican cooks to Diana Kennedy and Rick Bayless, both recipients of the Orden Mexicana del Águila Azteca (the Mexican Order of the Aztec Eagle). In addition, I had the great honor of collaborating for eight years with Rick Bayless in Chicago, Illinois, which included recipe testing for three of his award-winning cookbooks. The highly informative, culturally and historically rich and fun cooking classes range from basic home cooking to mastering the fine art of making moles. Your class can include visits to local markets, vineyards, artisanal food producers and organic farms. There will be some hands on activities but mostly it will be demonstration. The cost of the class includes the full lunch, traditional Mexican non-alcoholic beverages and a recipe booklet. You are welcome to bring your own wine or beer. Classes usually start at 10 am and are 2-3 hours which includes lunch from the foods prepared in class. Let me know if there is anything in particular that you are interested in learning. Also, if you have any food allergies. Classes are scheduled by appointment to accommodate your travel plans.
