What a fun experience! I would definitely reccommend it. The family was fun and friendly, the food was delicious and I especially loved the first part when we went to the food market together and we talked about local foods and traditions

Wir haben einen Kochkurs bei „Que Rico es
Oaxaca“ gemacht – und es war wirklich ein rundum großartiges Erlebnis. Eine ganz klare Empfehlung!
Gestartet sind wir gemeinsam auf dem Markt, wo wir viel über die verschiedenen Chilisorten gelernt haben. Zusammen haben wir die frischen Zutaten für unseren späteren Kochkurs eingekauft.
Wir waren eine angenehm kleine Gruppe (8 Personen) wodurch alles sehr persönlich und entspannt war. Alfonso ist wirklich ein unglaublich netter, offener Mensch, bei dem man sich sofort willkommen fühlt. Gekocht haben wir gemeinsam mit seiner Mutter, seiner Freundin und seinem Vater.
Neben dem Kochen gab es jede Menge zusätzliches Entertainment: Wir haben ein bisschen Salsa getanzt, Mezcal probiert und natürlich viele richtig leckere Gerichte zubereitet und gemeinsam gegessen. Alles in allem eine hundertprozentige Empfehlung!
Außerdem haben wir mit Alfonsos Schwester („Me Encanta Oaxaca“) eine Streetfood-Tour gemacht, die wir ebenfalls zu 100 % weiterempfehlen können. Beide Erlebnisse sind absolut großartig – und wer die Zeit hat, sollte auf jeden Fall beides machen! ☺️

My wife and I went with our adult daughter who said it was the most fun thing that we did on our trip to Oaxaca and Mexico City. Alfonso is wonderful, his mom is sweet, and his father is a total character...
Alfonzo designed a great experience beginning with a visit to a local market to pick up ingredients, then a van ride to his parents house where we had access to a full kitchen and dining area to make a three course meal...
Excellent experience with Alfonso and his family in their own home and kitchen. We did a lot of different dishes and learned about Oaxaca food and culture as their kitchen is decorated with beautiful local craft...
This was the first time in our travels that we did a cooking class and it will be an experience that's etched in our memory. Alfonso and his family opened their kitchen to us and taught us the nuances of Oaxacan cooking...
Lucy and I had such a fantastic day with Alfonso and his family. From the very start it felt like a truly authentic experience - visiting the local market to shop for fresh ingredients, learning traditional cooking techniques...
