LA COCINA COOKING SCHOOL

San Miguel de Allende

Classes are held at La Cocina cooking school in Colonia San Antonio, where you will begin your immersion into Mexican gastronomy and cultural. The delectable recipes you will be making emphasize the lean, heart-friendly aspects of this rich and varied cuisine. Besides preparing and tasting traditional fare, some classes will focus on the new and innovative dishes coming out of Mexico today, as well as the international kitchen.

Thursday afternoon classes are taught by KRIS RUDOLPH, OWNER OF EL BUEN CAFÉ and La Cocina cooking school. These classes feature traditional Mexican cooking. Menus range from Enchiladas, Chiles Rellenos and a variety of Salsas to the more complex moles of Oaxaca. Some favorite dishes include Sopes with Tinga, Pork Loin with Mango-Chipotle Salsa, Beef tips in Chile Pasilla Salsa and Mole Poblano, as well as Cafe de Olla and desserts like Tres Leches Cake and Chocolate Kahlua Flan. These classes are taught in English and are mostly hands-on, unless you prefer only to watch. Dinner and margaritas, as well as recipe packets, are included.
