Our market and cooking experience with Martha was fantastic! She and her husband Arturo welcomed us into their home which was full of exquisite decor from their travels abroad. They drove us to the market where she taught us about different local ingredients and purchased some for our meal. At home, we helped cook a chicken mole, learned how to handmake tortillas for squash blossom quesadillas, and prepared a fresh guacamole complete with a local delicacy of crickets (which I'm sure is optional, but we are adventurous). There was plenty of wine, tequila, and snacks before dinner and a beautiful seated meal with Martha and Arturo (who loved to curate the music). Martha made her grandmother's flan recipe which was a highlight of dessert. We all left stuffed and happy to have made wonderful new friends in Mexico City!
Wonderful cooking and dining experience!

Shopping in the market and cooking with Martha was one of the highlights on our spectacular trip to Mexico City. Martha was extremely considerate in putting together a delicious vegetarian meal that we could all cook together. She explained Mexican cooking techniques and flavors as we chopped vegetables and pressed tortillas. She and her husband, Arturo, welcomed us into their beautiful home and our 4 and a half hours together flew by. Our teen, a picky eater, declared that this was the best meal ever! Thank you, Martha and Arturo!

This experience was so special! I would definitely recommened to anyone! For starters, Martha is a wonderful, sweet, and very welcoming woman who made me feel right at home in her home and helped me learn so much about how to cook authentic Mexican dishes. We had such a wonderful time together, from venturing through the market and buying ingredients, preparing many delicious dishes, and eating our creations together at her beautifully set table.

Martha was a wonderful host and teacher. She embraced our family of four and engaged beautifully with our two teenagers. She got us all involved in the cooking and the outcome of our cooking was delicious. Her husband Arturo joined us, and as dog lovers we welcomed their pup into our shared space. It felt like cooking at home with family. It was a great time and one of our highlights of our week in CDMX! Thank you, Martha!

Cooking with Martha is a must do! From the communication beforehand to her knowledge during, it was so much fun and welcoming to cook in her beautiful home. She provides both pre-Hispanic and modern cuisine to satisfy a variety of taste profiles. I would suggest that you also get the alcohol option. The tequila and wine pairings were excellent. Please make your reservation with Martha and Betsy (her assistant) and try the well seasoned crickets!!

Martha was a fantastic host to learn from! My wife and I enjoyed our time with her and her husband Arturo. They took us to the market and then back to their home/kitchen. We had so much fun!
Just amazing!

It was beyond amazing. There are not enough words to describe the experience. The food was just delicious. We learned so much about ingredients, history, culture, tequila and so much more. We had the pleasure of meeting her husband who made us feel at home. Their sense of humor and warmth made us feel that we would be friends forever. We want them to visit us in NY to stay with us — this is how wonderful they made us feel. Her price is way less than what she gives you in return — lots of food, knowledge, tequila, wine and warmth. Thank you so much. I can’t wait to be back!

Marta and Arturo treated us like family. I'm not exaggerating. We've hosted many friends and family visiting us overseas. Taking her cooking class felt like the mirror image. We would - will - recommend this adventure to anyone coming to Mexico City. Marta welcomed us in her home in a quiet neighborhood outside the center of Mexico City. A pudgy, golden bundle of love named Layla greeted us at the entrance of her apartment. We'd seen hundreds of dogs and their owners during the week; it was only fitting another was there to welcome us. Marta and her husband took my family to the market, where she engaged sellers in friendly conversation and explained about unique flavors and preparations of pre-Hispanic cuisine. Back at the apartment, Marta took my wife, daughter, and me through the history and art of pre-Hispanic cooking. She drafted my daughter into shredding Oaxaca cheese and preparing tortillas, while showing us some secrets to incredible food. She walked through the importance of the epazote herb, the versatility and unique flavor of huitlacotche (corn fungus, try it), and interactions of chili, oil, lard, avocados, and more. We gnawed on jicama and spiced broad beans while we cooked. After preparing the meal, we sat down to eat together. A premade blue corn sope almost stole the show till the next dish arrived, our tortilla soup topped with chicharron and chapulines (crickets, again, try it!). Then came the quesadillas stuffed with a blend of Oaxaca cheese, huitlacotche, and onions. Finally - ok this was the real winner - she brought out a nutty flan dripping with caramel. Costarring with the flan was mamey, a native fruit halfway between a papaya and an avocado. I can't say enough about this experience. Yes, the food was fantastic, but the company was better. Marta and Arturo really treated us like family, showing off family photos and talking about their careers spanning the globe. Outside, the city observed Good Friday - a day when Christians recall the Last Supper and later crucifixion of Jesus. A small procession walked by as we returned from the market. Dedicated to mothers of the disappeared, it not only commemorating the holiday, but providing a somber reminder of Mexico's past and present. As we broke bread with Marta and Arturo, we thought of what made up Mexico's identity - through sacrifice, pain, joy, and optimism. As Americans breaking bread with a couple who had devotes their lives to their country, we thought of what kindness we owed them, ourselves, and each other.
