    Ismael is incredibly personable and knowledgeable. The three of us had a wonderful day visiting the market, learning about food and cooking in Ismael’s home. The dishes we helped prepare were delicious. We try to take a cooking class when we travel internationally. This experience did not disappoint.

    This was a wonderful experience for us! Ismael is a knowledgeable and fun guide to the city and its food. Some highlights for us included tasting fruits we had never seen before at the market, understanding the progression of making a delicious soup, and learning more about the history of the city. As first-time visitors to Mexico City, we found this to be a great way to begin our stay. Thanks, Ismael!

    I like to do cooking classes when I travel these days. I found the Traveling Spoon website on Trip Advisor and it had a few options for México City. I booked the market tour and cooking class combination and was soon in touch with our host Farid Estrada. He cooks a meal in his apartment in Colonia Napoles, close to our apartment in Roma Sur so he suggested that the market tour be at Mercado Medellin. This was perfect for us as it was in walking distance. We met up at the market around 9:00 am. I appreciate having a guide in a market where the food offerings include many things that are new to me or that I just haven’t tried yet. The best item in this category is huitelcoche, the bluish fungus that forms on the corn and is used in many dishes with its delicate, earthy flavour. Farid made this a central part of his tortilla offering back in the apartment. We also enjoyed making some of the dishes under his supervision. A tour like this involves many things that make it so worthwhile doing. The food is, of course, the main purpose of the tour but there is a lot of cultural learning layered onto the visit to the market, for example. As we left the market Farid wanted to show us a unique community garden nearby. He explained how a vacant construction site was turned into a productive community centre with gardens, workshops, performance spaces and meeting places by locals acting collectively. The garden is called Huerto Roma Verde if you are visiting Mexico City. Check it out.

    Lucia was the perfect host for us! She was a delight and a treat to explore the markets, and learn how to cook delish Mexican cuisines. We could not have asked for anything better, as we cooked in her fabulous home. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a first hand experience. No doubt a highlight of our trip.

    What to expect

    Travel inland from the port in Progreso and discover the culture through food, in this Mexican cooking class in Merida in a local home. We recommended this Merida Shore Excursions, for a true and authentic taste of Mexico. Step into the home of Sofia, a local with a passion for sharing her cooking, culture and traditions. There is no better way of learning and discovering than from a direct source, and when Sofia shares her love of what she does best you will remember this day forever. In your Merida cooking class, you will work side by side with Sofia in her own kitchen as she teaches you how to make traditional Yucatecan dishes from scratch, such as sikilpak (ground pumpkin seed dip) and codzitos (Yucatecan appetizer) or empanadas de chaya and panuchos y salbut (tortilla with shredded chicken and garnished with lettuce and onion) or tacos al pastor. And of course, no lesson in Yucatecan cooking would not be complete without the famous fiery habanero salsa! Once all the dishes are prepared you will sit down and enjoy the fruits of your labors, along with a delicious local beer.
