this class was fun, quick, and very in-depth into the art of cooking these local traditional foods. Oscar and company were very welcoming and nice. very worth it to do this class or others at Casa Crespo.

The class was just my husband and I, and Oscar gave us a wonderful experience explaining the use of chocolate, making etc. We made some chocolate powder, drinking chocolate, and mole. His stass prepared a nice table for us to do our tasting and enjoyed some mezcal. Would definitely recommend.
This was a really amazing and sweet experience that we had in Oaxaca. It was an intimate group which was great and we got to learn how to make chocolate, mole and ice cream from scratch. it was such an incredible experience and i highly recommend it! Definitely also worth your money. Oscar was also an amazing teacher and very lovely person. At the end you also get to sit down and try it, which was incredible
This was a great workshop! I learned to make mole, ice cream, and Oaxacan hot chocolate and it was all delicious. Chef Oscar was a great guide, explaining the significance of each dish and the cultural events where they are eaten. I was the only one there so I got a very hands on and personalised experience. All the staff were lovely too!
A very fun experience to do on an afternoon while checking out Oaxaca City! Fun making and tasting easy chocolate and mole recipes.
Had a great time making some chocolate mole, ice cream and tortillas. Learnt about Oaxacan chocolate and got to enjoy it afterwards. Fun way to spend an hour. Mentioned we are vegetarian and made the mole to suit.
Chef Oscar & staff provided an extraordinary hands-on culinary experience PLUS amazing Oaxacan dishes! Highly recommend! Thanks, Chef Oscar for sharing your expertise ❤️💚🤍
I really liked the chef, but the class went by very quickly and you don’t really learn how to cook mole, you mostly watch the chef do it. The food was very delicious.
Chef Oscar was awesome. He explained to us how to prepare chocolate from scratch (we toasted, peeled, and ground the beans) and how to use it to make a beverage with water, mole, and ice cream. He was engaging, fun, and invited all of us to participate in the cooking experience. We also got to eat the mole we prepared (with chicken) and chocolate ice cream. It was a fun and memorable experience. Highly recommended!!
This chocolate making class kept me on my toes with Chef Oscar instructing us how to make hot chocolate, chocolate mole, and chocolate ice cream, all with a simple traditional Oaxaca recipe. We even heated our own tortillas with a colorful hibiscus stain design to accompany our chicken mole. Dinner, drink and dessert included! I bought a couple of his (reasonably priced!) fresh chocolate to take home and make my own hot cocoa.
Excellent class, highly recommended, the highlight of our trip in oaxaca capital, you can not miss it, best chocolateeee
Oscar was a great teacher who shared not only about the process to prepare chocolate and mole but also the cultural significance.
What a fun and educational class this was!! We heated up cocoa beans and made actual chocolate to make hot chocolate and chocolate ice cream . We also learned how to make a simple mole with chocolate and it was all hands on with the instructor guiding us . At the end of the class we were served our mole sauce over chicken and the chocolate ice cream for dessert . Dinner was served on a rooftop patio with twinkling lights . It was a phenomenal experience and we 100% recommend taking this class !!!
Excellent very friendly all of them, a very pleasant and special moment. We enjoyed it very much, Oscar and all his team very attentive and dedicated. I highly recommend it, as a must when visiting Oaxaca .
I loved the class! Casa Crespo is a very beautiful place. Chef Oscar shares very interesting information and the chocolate was delicious!
Chocolate is not just a delicious drink or pastry... it is an experience that unites tradition with taste. At home Crespo I have discovered to delight my palate and my spirit with his extraordinary recipes... Gracias Chef Oscar
