Gratuities
See an iconic Mexican dish in a completely new way after this multi-variety tamal-making workshop. At the beautiful Condesa home of your knowledgeable guide, learn about the dizzying diversity of the world of Mexican tamales before rolling up your sleeves and preparing two different versions of this iconic favorite from scratch. Just over an hour later, set the table with beautiful, locally-made dinnerware and enjoy a classic green tamal with its tangy tomatillo salsa filling, as well as a lesser-known fresh corn tamal, which you'll serve with a topping of smoky chipotle salsa and sour cream.

We did two fantastic cooking classes with Jim at his lovely Condesa home and can’t recommend enough if you are wanting to spend time learning more about Mexican cuisine in a relaxed environment. Jim is a kind and generous host who welcomes you into his home as though you are already friends :-) He is extremely knowledgeable and passionate and what you make is very delicious!! Jim is adaptable and creative and goes the extra mile to make the experience special for you. We look forward to recreating the dishes at home! Thanks also to his lovely staff Doris and Vincente. See you next time in CDMX 💕🇲🇽

This is a delightful and delicious class, and I highly recommend it. We opted for a vegetarian meal and were very happy with that. Jim’s instructions and insights into our ingredients really enhanced our experience. We made 2 different types of tamales, one using banana leaf wraps and one using the more familiar corn husks. Our homemade salsas were so tasty! We loved sitting down with Jim and his assistant Vicente to enjoy what we had just created and share stories. We look forward to sharing our new recipes with friends at home. This class is a terrific way to spend an afternoon!

A not-to-be-missed experience. Jim is a fantastic chef and teacher who provided a fun and very interesting lesson that covered Mexican history, culture, and food. The other people in our class were great. It all made for a great afternoon and Jim’s advice on where to continue the evening set us up for a very fun night.

Jim was an excellent teacher, and also showed flexibility for our schedules, eating preferences, and differing cooking experiences. The food outcome was delicious, and the well-orchestrated experience that included teaching about foods of the regions, cooking techniques, and of course, complementary beverages and dessert made the 4 hours a wonderful culinary excursion.

This is an absolutely fabulous class. Cone for Jim's masterful instruction, stay for his vast knowledge spanning culinary history to Egyptian politics and the Arabic language. If you miss this, you're not doing it right!

This was such a wonderful way to spend an evening in Mexico City! We highly recommend to do this with friends or family as it is such a fun time and informative as well. We were warmly welcomed into our host’s home and had an amazing time. One of the best nights in the city for sure.
