2.Vegetarian Cooking Class

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 139 reviews · 3.5 hours · from $70

Join an English- or Spanish-speaking chef such as Victor or Quetzali for a market visit and hands-on vegetarian cooking class in Oaxaca. You will choose fresh produce, prepare several traditional dishes, then share the meal with your small group, with mezcal and recipes included.

“Our cooking class with Chef Victor was amazing, one of the highlights of our trip! First because it felt very authentic. Victor seems like he has genuine relationships with people at the market. He is a proud Oaxacan who learned some of his best recipes from his grandma and who talks about local food and ingredients with knowledge and passion. He speaks English very well but is easy to understand in Spanish as well. He's a very chill and friendly guy, who'll happily talk about life in Mexico or give local recommendations. The food was delicious, with a great variety of dishes and lovely complimentary drinks. No advanced cooking skills…”
