Exploring the colors & flavors of Oaxaca

We’re excited for you to join us on a thrilling Oaxaca Culinary Tour. Prepare to have your taste buds transported to a whole new level of flavor! Oaxaca, a vibrant city in Mexico, is famous for its rich culinary heritage, and I cannot wait to explore it with you. From traditional food to bustling markets and the finest mezcal, this tour promises to be a gastronomic delight that will leave you craving more.

One of the highlights of this tour is the chance to experience cooking on a comal, a traditional Mexican griddle. This ancient cooking technique has been passed down through generations and is still widely used in Oaxacan kitchens today. Imagine sizzling tortillas, perfectly toasted, as you learn the secrets of making authentic Oaxacan dishes. The comal adds a unique smoky flavor to the food, giving it that extra touch of deliciousness that you won't find anywhere else. As you flip the tortillas and fill them with savory ingredients, you'll feel a sense of pride knowing that you are immersing yourself in a culinary tradition that has stood the test of time.

Together, we'll have the chance to explore the bustling markets of Oaxaca, where you can pick out the freshest ingredients for your cooking adventures. The market's vibrant colors and intoxicating aromas will awaken your senses and ignite your culinary creativity. You'll have the opportunity to taste exotic fruits, sample artisanal cheeses, and discover unique spices that will take your dishes to new heights. The locals will greet you with warm smiles and open arms, eager to share their knowledge and passion for food. It's not just about cooking on a comal; it's about experiencing Oaxaca's vibrant culture and deep-rooted traditions.
