DELICIA DE MI TIERRA TULUM — Restaurant in Quintana Roo

A True Deep Dive into Mexican Cuisine—Cook Mole, Salsas, Ceviche & More in a Fun, Hands-On Kitchen Class

After taking cooking classes all over the world, I’ve learned that many are more like food demonstrations (or excuses to sip wine) than true cooking lessons. This class? Absolutely the opposite. From the moment we walked in, it was a full deep dive into authentic Mexican cooking—and we were right in the heart of the kitchen!

Our chefs, Valeria and Eduardo, were incredible guides, walking us step-by-step through a 4-hour culinary adventure that had us chopping, stirring, tasting, and laughing the entire way. Because it was just the two of us that day, the experience felt incredibly personal and hands-on.

The night before, we’d selected our main dish: the traditional chicken mole. When we arrived, the table was beautifully set with fresh ingredients for every dish on the menu. We prepared four unique salsas, each crafted with its own technique, and dove into making the rich, complex mole sauce (27 ingredients—it was a masterpiece!). Along the way, we whipped up ceviche, aguachiles, tortillas, sopes, and empanadas—every bite more delicious than the last.

Valeria filled the class with fascinating stories about each ingredient and its origins across Mexico, while Eduardo kept the energy light, fun, and fast-paced. We even had a bonus margarita-making session and tequila tasting, which added a perfect festive touch.

By the end, we sat down to enjoy a feast we had truly cooked ourselves, complete with leftovers to take home for later. The food was spectacular, but the real highlight was the warmth, humor, and expertise of Valeria and Eduardo.

If you want a cooking class that’s immersive, delicious, and unforgettable—this...
