Cook Oaxacan classics with nixtamalized corn, taste mole, visit a market, and share a wood-fired meal at Quinta Brava.

“The class was amazing! We don’t typically do group things like this ever, but something about it changed our mind. And we are so happy it did. The entire group was just delightful. Chef was so fun and informative. We happily recommend to anyone who wants to learn about Oaxacan cuisine, the act of cooking it, history of ingredients; or if you just want to have a great time, lots of laughs, and maybe a few beers while you’re at it. It was an experience we very much treasure!”
