Cooking, memory making, and complete satisfaction - All three of us had great fun today. Nassim was a perfect host, accomplished chef, and a bit of entertainer. It was a day to celebrate our friendship and we glad we went.

Great cooking experience with Hassim. - Really enjoyed this class and visit to the market. I was a little nervous reading some reviews after I booked. There was concern that there was not enough hands on experience, but I guess the guide/chef Nassim listened to the feedback because we were definitely hands-on. We did make tortillas from masa and put them on the grill. Nassim cooked them for us. We did wind up using fresh tortillas bought from the market. My guess is that they were more uniform for what we were doing. We made guacamole from scratch. We made sopas and did use those in our cooking. We put together enchiladas. Cut the veggies for red sauce. We did not make the rice pudding, but Hassim walked us through the process. Overall, we enjoyed the experience and I am confident I can recreate these recipes at home. We are a couple, both 41 years old.

Holy Guacamole! - We had a really great time going to the market in Mexico and then seeing how they cook food. There was a lot of hands-on learning. You’ll learn to make the perfect guacamole. The food was delicious and Nassim was a perfect host. Very personable and took great care of the group.

Interesting experience - Great connection to the local market. We really enjoyed wandering about. I would have liked a bit more time there, but understood we were on a time table. Naseem was wonderful and explained so much. We enjoyed our time when we got to the restaurant to cook. However, this is a limited hands-on cooking experience. There is some chopping involved, but not a lot of cooking. Naseem took care of that. Regardless, it was a fun and interesting experience . We would highly recommend.

Really a cooking tutorial - First off, the staff are amazing. Everyone is professional and engaging. I would also note that all of the facilities (including transportation) were excellent. Having attended many different cooking classes in countries we travel to, my knock is that this was more of a cooking tutorial than class. The only thing we actually made was guacamole. For everything else, it was either already prepared or we completed a finishing step. In fact, they have it designed to be 1 'cooking' station for every two people. Again, their really wasn't anything to do. That doesn't mean we didn't enjoy it or learn anything - but its not really that hands on - if thats what your interested in.
