Flavors of Mexico: CDMX

A hands-on, collaborative cooking class culminating in a family-style dinner served with wine and beer.

Maybe you can’t make it to Mexico City, but you’re hankering for a taste of it. Join us for a festive fiesta of a cooking class centered around one of the greatest cities in the world. With such a vast population, the style of Mexican cuisine in Mexico City (aka CDMX) is varied much like the people who call it home. Annelies Zijderveld leads you on a tour of the tastebuds in this class that brings together flavors from Mexico City with a touch of other Mexican regions’ influence.
