Marilau, Mexican Ancestry Cooking School

Hola y muy bienvenidos! As in all cultures, those born and raised in the society are the best source of knowledge about traditions. As a Mexican native, I inherited my Mexican cuisine knowledge from my previous generations. And my passion too! From my earliest years, I watched my mother, my aunts and grandparents in the kitchen, so I invite you to join me, to use the very fresh ingredients of our Mexican Cuisine, and recreate together those delicious dishes. I love sharing my knowledge about one of the most varied and delicious cuisines in the world. I take pride in customizing my classes to suit the needs of all students -that don't have to stick to a fix classes program calendar. Contact us to arrange your own hands-on class. Classes are from Monday thru Friday, starting at 10:30 am. A minimum number of students apply for each class. We offer special intensive courses of 3 days, 1 week or 2 weeks.

MARILAU;Mexican Ancestry Cooking experience was beyond anything we could have expected. Every detail of the day was beautifully crafted, from the kitchen itself to the delicious meal that was prepared. Chef Marilau was extremely knowledgeable (Marilau taught us things which a seasoned chef would know chemical reactions and important details to bring out flavor). Her hospitality made us feel right at home. The day was even more special because It was Dia de los Muertos, and we were in full Costume; So much fun. We could not have asked for a more memorable experience. Nancy and I highly recommend to visit San Miguel de Allende and to have a cooking class with Marilau. Thanks Marilau Mario M

Cooking Classes with Paco Cardenas

Reviewed By hollyhG2285OX

My teenage daughter and I loved our cooking class with Chef Paco. The ingredients were locally sourced and incredibly fresh. Chef Paco’s home and outdoor kitchen are lovely and well equipped. His recipes are authentic and he shares his wealth of knowledge and local cooking techniques with his students. We learned to make sopes, tamales, pozole, rajas con crema, garbanzos de San Miguel de Allende, three different salsas, chocolate tequila mousse and more, and all were delicious. Be sure to visit his lovely breakfast and pastry shop in town, El Petit Four, where the almond croissant is a highlight.

My mom and I so enjoyed Kris's Indigenous Mexican cooking class and market tour! Kris is so knowledgable -- the tour included a lot of SMA history as well as yummy samples from the market! After our market tour, we headed back to the stunning cooking school (also a B&B!) and made a variety of delicious dishes for lunch. We had a great time cooking with our group -- a fun mix of new pals ranging from a young couple from Brooklyn to retirees from Chicago. Thank you Kris for a special day, a memory my mom and I won't ever forget!

We did a market tour + cooking class with Gaby and it was amazing!! Gaby is so knowledgeable of the Mexican culture and cuisine and is such a sweet / cool / interesting person!! We learned so much about authentic Mexican ingredients like cactus during the market tour and then had an amazing time cooking a three course meal with Gaby in her professional grade kitchen. We felt extremely safe from a COVID standpoint and are so glad we chose to do this experience! The highlight of our trip! Definitely book with Gaby you will not regret it :)!!
