Excellent Mexican cooking class - I have taken cooking classes around the world, and this was one of the best classes I have ever attended.
David is incredibly knowledgeable about all types of cuisine and gave us fascinating insights into the history of Mexican foods. The class was very well organized, and David had prepped all the ingredients so that we could maximize our time cooking. This was a hands-on experience, and everyone was able to participate. David thoroughly explained the techniques so that we could easily understand and replicate them at home,
The food we created was delicious. David promptly provided all the recipes via email.
I would highly recommend this class for cooks of all levels.

Great cooking class-can’t be beat! - David is such a good teacher. He took us to the market to buy some of what we needed to cook and along the way gave us a wonderful history lesson on colonial Mexican cuisine. The class was well organized and the food was delicious. I can’t wait to get home to make one of his fabulous recipes.

Educational and Absolutely Delicious - Chef Jahnke's cooking classes are the best I have ever taken. My friends and I all enjoyed learning about the history of our cuisine and the hands on class was such fun. All of us learned some things we can easily incorporate into our own cooking. The food we made was better than anything we ate in the excellent restaurants in San Miguel and that is saying something! His follow up in sharing the recipes was much appreciated too. I was so impressed with him that I hired him for a private dinner party. My guests are still raving about the food we enjoyed.

Excellent and knowledgeable chef-great experience! - What a great time my husband and I had with David today. We met at the market and bought a few things we needed for the dishes we selected to cook. In addition, we had a tour of the market with David explaining about foods from the America's vs those brought from Europe and the far east. Went to his home where we learned to cook 4 Mexican dishes we had selected. David is trained in and teaches non-Mexican classes such as Italian, French, German. Naturally we got to eat out efforts, one course at a time so we didn't fill up too quickly and we got to enjoy each one! Highly recommend a cooking class with David and the market was a bonus!

Learning about the history of Mexican cooking - We learned so much in the market tour portion. After going to his house we were so impressed with how organized everything was. He walked us thru preparing the fou dishes we had selected. Eating our results was greatly enjoyable. He's a terrific teacher not only if cooking but also food in general.

Excellent, educational, fun, and delicious Mexican cooking class - David is a superb culinary teacher and you will receive an excellent introduction to traditional Mexican cuisine. He began with a thorough and fascinating discussion of the cultural heritage of foods from the Americas, why the continuation of indigenous Aztec knowledge of gastronomy led to Mexico being honored by UNESCO, and some basics of food chemistry. Under David's friendly, masterful and patient guidance, we prepared four delicious courses: a tortilla soup, fish fillet with a tomatoe-chile sauces baked in banana leaves, enchiladas verdes, and a fried waffle soaked in a citrus-sugar sauce. Along the way, he taught cooking techniques, e.g., blanching tomatoes, the proper motion for dicing with a knife, and removing seeds from chiles. I highly recommend David's cooking class.
