This cooking class in Oaxaca draws on deep research carried out with specialists in pre‑Hispanic food. It aims to share the heritage value of Oaxacan vegetarian cuisine. The experience is guided by a traditional cook who brings local knowledge and culinary traditions to the session.

You will walk through the neighbourhood with the cook to buy the freshest products for your dishes. Along the way you will hear about pre‑Hispanic foodways and the ingredients that shape vegetarian cooking in the region. Back in the kitchen, you will prepare meals using the produce you selected, applying techniques informed by the research and local expertise. The class focuses on the cultural background as much as on practical cooking, so you will gain both hands‑on skills and a clearer understanding of Oaxaca’s vegetarian culinary heritage.
