Cook & Dine | Make Authentic Mexican Mole And Salsas In San Miguel De Allende

So much fun! Great experience. Miguel included everyone in preparation and participation. We laughed alot and learned alot. I would go again to learn to more and different dishes. The location was so beautiful and peaceful and enhanced the immersive experience!

Miguel is wonderful. The meeting place is beautiful. Couldn’t believe we made such delicious food with so many fresh ingredients. Trip through garden at end was a special treat.

Chef Miguel was a very good teacher and felt warm and inviting form the start. We learned about the different basic cooking methods for salsa. The class was indeed a cooking class as we were involved all along the way with chopping fruits and vegetables, herbs and chiles. While we were making the mole we got to enjoy the two salsas we made. Then after completing the mole, we ate with enmolada with potatoes, and mexican wine. The class is offered in a beautiful historic home with gorgeous courtyard. We are so happy we took this class!

The experience is wonderful from the moment you set foot in the beautiful garden. Miguel is a charming, entertaining and educational instructor. I’ve taken this class 3 times and have thoroughly enjoyed it every time. Delicious enmoladas, salsa, Mexican rice and a wine glass that is never empty.

Excellent service and very detailed explanations. Any questions that arose were explained very well for beginners. I 1000% recommend not missing out on this experience in San Miguel de Allende.

As no one else signed up for the class the evening that we took it, we had a private cooking experience with Chef Miguel! He taught us about the importance of chocolate to Mexican culture and to mole traditions while we sipped chocolate beverages and Mexican wine before we jumped into making salsas, mole, and delicious enmoladas. Would recommend to anyone who's interested in food, culture, and cooking.

Wonderful experience, perfect in every way! I would highly recommend this company. Stop reading reviews and make a booking!

It doesn’t look like much from the outside, but when you step through you immediately, see an inviting courtyard with beautiful gardens. We were given a chocolate drink and invited to walk around and look at the place. Miguel, the chef, told us all about the plants and how they are used in cooking. The class was great! The large kitchen was open and perfect for a cooking class. We learned to make two types of salsas and mole. Miguel was patient, energetic, informative, and very organized. He encouraged us to “Cook with Love.” Then we sat down and ate our delicious meal. Miguel did not rush us out, but took time to let us enjoy the gardens and courtyards. We even got to pet two sweet dogs. I would highly recommend this cooking class! It was one of the highlights of our trip to San Miguel.

This was a memorable experience. Miguel was fantastic, entertaining and knowledgeable. As someone that cooks at home often i learned many new techniques that I will incorporate into my home cooking. The estate this takes place is worth it. Just a storied estate with many interactive experiences.

Absolute must do experience when visiting. The food was fantastic and Miguel was so delightful, patient and informative. I have a new understanding of the preparation of mole and a higher respect for the process. Perfect for beginners. Also the property is stunning

Unique, personal, one of a kind authentic experience. We had 6 total people, 4 adults, a 17 yo and 13 yo. Miguel was amazing and so patient with everyone’s cooking skills. And the venue was in an amazing property.

Beautiful venue. Great instructor with a wonderful sense of humor, One, knowledgeable and sharing recipes from his Mexican grandmother. Small class of seven. Everyone agreed it was the highlight of our trip.

Magical, fun, engaging…delicious! Miguel is an amazing instructor/chef! My daughter and I plan to attempt to recreate the yummy dishes soon!

What a wonderful evening! Miguel is an amazing instructor, chef, and host. Not only did we learn to make wonderful salsas and mole, we got to do it all in a beautiful setting with wonderful wine.

Fabulous experience! From the moment you walk into the property you feel transported to a magical place. Then Chef Miguel took us into his kitchen where he gave a master class in sharing love through cooking. Unforgettable! Thank you.

Wonderful experience! The chef was charming and fun, got everyone involved. The recipes we made were outstanding! The house and grounds were also extraordinary and it was a wonderful opportunity to see them. I can't recommend this experience enough!

From the moment we stepped onto the stunning property we were transported to the realm of authentic Mexican cooking. Chef Miguel's passion for cooking is fueled by his appreciation of the cultural history pertaining to the dishes we were making and the attributes of each ingredient and tool...be it nutritional, historical or spiritual. As he guided us through each step he masterfully wove all of this information into his presentation. By the time we sat down to eat our mole I completely understood why this is such an important dish in Mexico. We were eating a dish with ingredients gifted by the God's. I will never again mindlessly use my molinillo when I make Mexican hot chocolate. I now know the task is massaging my heart and to cook with a heart full of love is to infuse the food with that love which subsequently serves to physically and spiritually nourish the recipient. Thank you Chef Miguel for such a wonderful experience.

What a treat! Our chef was fun, prepared, knowledgeable and made this class special for all of us! I learned so much about mole, the ingredients, the history...so much more than just a recipe. I highly recommend to anyone who enjoys being in the kitchen and learning about the culture through food.

Miguel was amazing! Charming, personable, knowledgeable and very professional! There were 6 in our group and he included us with doing the prep work. I learned a lot about Mexican traditional cooking with the heart & soul being the kitchen

This was a great experience! Miguel was passionate, knowledgeable and super fun to learn from. The food we made was amazing! We really enjoyed learning about the culture and cuisine, while drinking wine and meeting new friends. Highly recommended!! Don’t panic it’s organic 😊

Great setting. Knowledgeable and informative chef. Learned several new cooking techniques. Thoroughly enjoyable and delicious.

Miguel was wonderful! All 4 of us (2 couples) really enjoyed ourselves, even the non-cooks among us, because Miguel made everything so interesting. We enjoyed meeting the others in our class and we each played a role in the meal. And all of this is to not even mention how incredible the food was - it really was! I would do this again and again.

Miguel was a terrific host. He was very well versed in Mexican tradition and shared great detail of the ingredients and passion of Mexican cooking. This was a hands on experience and we all shared dinner yogurt on his wonderful veranda

I am so happy I decided to sign up for this cooking class! Chef Miguel was welcoming and genuine as he shared his family recipes , stories and love for his mexican culture and food. Chef Miguel did a great job of giving involving each of us as we cooked . If I come back to San MIguel I won't hesitate to sign up again !!

This was a wonderful experience. Miguel was absolutely wonderful. He was warm, entertaining and incredibly knowledgeable. And the mole and salsa we made was simply unbelievable. This is an experience you don’t want to miss.

Chef Miguel prepared a private meal for us. The salsas and appetizers were delish as well as the margaritas. Our main course, mole was yummy as well. Different from the darker and lighter moles that we are accustomed to but still good. Chef Miguel and his sous chef were extremely friendly, courteous and attentive. They also did a great job cleaning up. It was a fun experience.

Chef Miguel is wonderful! Made this the best experience we did in SMA. He's prepared, knowledgeable, warm and fun--and the venue worked perfectly. A terrific way to learn more about the culture, enjoy some new tastes of the cuisine and take home some new tips.

This experience was one of the best moments of our trip. Our cooking instructor, Miguel, made the experience better than we could have imagined. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and created a relaxing environment to cook. Highly recommend.

What a wonderful finale to our time in San Miguel. An absolutely lovely setting, the food was fantastic, Miguel was a terrific teacher and chef. I have taken a lot of cooking classes and I think this might be the best one ever. Thanks Chef Miguel!

We had a great time learning to make 2 salsa, one rice dish and amazing mole sauce! Chef Miguel was very knowledgeable as well as entertaining. We booked this fun experience for our wedding anniversary and it turned out...another couple were celebrating their anniversary also! So, we had champagne and red wine! Great time had by all and a wonderful meal that we just created! Thank you Chef Miguel!

Chef Miguel was fantastic! He really enjoys teaching the joys of cooking authentic Mexican food. The setting is beautiful (one minute you're on a busy cobble stoned street, and the next - once behind the walls - you're in this tranquil courtyard and home), and Miguel's passion for cooking (using his Abuela's recipes, of course) comes through from the moment he introduces himself. I could not recommend this experience more highly!

Second time doing the cooking class, and it is my favorite thing about every trip here! Can’t recommend it enough! Such a fun and unique experience you will remember forever

Learning to make mole was the highlight for me. Now I can make it for friends and family. Miguel was truly a special instructor. He was patient and very informative. I would love to take more lessons from him.

Wow! What a terrific afternoon cooking with Chef Miguel. Not only was the food delicious, but Miguel was also thoroughly entertaining. Everyone in our group of five participated in preparing traditional salsas and mole then enjoyed the fruits of our labor with a bit of wine. Definitely recommend this experience.

The cooking class with Miguel was the highlight of our trip! He was an exceptional host and teacher. Miguel not only taught us how to prepare a delicious meal, but also enriched the experience by sharing the cultural significance of Mexican cuisine and the fascinating history of mole. This class was both educational and incredibly fun. Highly recommend!

This is a one-of-a-kind experience and worth every penny! Miquel is deeply knowledgeable about Mexican cuisine and its origins, is a charming teacher, and funny to boot! He had us chopping and stirring and seasoning right away and we enjoyed getting to know some new acquaintances while we did it. My husband commented to me halfway through the afternoon that it was the best thing we’d done in Mexico! Grab the chance. The food and the fun are unforgettable!

Miguel’s class to make mole offered generous information for ingredients and technique. His love of Mexican culture was eloquently stated in words, with huge smiles, and ended with a walk in the garden, which provides fabulous herbs and vegetables for cooking. Our group of six shared all the tasks that led to a splendid meal and plenty of wine served on the terrace in a beautiful and inviting home in the heart of San Miguel. Thank Miguel. Your cooking skills and warm personality made this a memorable portion of our trip. Linda Fantuzzo

He was a wonderful teacher. Told us a lot about the history and significance of the ingredients. We all worked hard and the results were delicious.

This cooking class was the highlight of our time in San Miguel de Allende, which is saying something. Miguel is a wonderful teacher! He created a fantastic learning environment and helped us all gain an appreciation for traditional Mexican ingredients, techniques and dishes. It was all very delicious and authentic. We left feeling like we made new friends.

We had a wonderful experience during our class with Miguel. It was social, informative, engaging and fun for all. The food we made was delicious and full of love and flavor. This is a don’t-miss experience in San Miguel.

Fantastic experience set in a beautiful home. No pressure class with easy instructions. Absolutely would recommend!

My daughter and I took Miguel’s cooking class to try something different and somewhat in line with the destination. We would not usually pick this kind of tour or experience. We had the best time! It was a perfect experience of cooking, conversating,exploring, eating, drinking, and learning. Miguel gets everyone involved and is very inviting. I’m so glad we chose to add this to our itinerary.

Excellent hands-on experience! Miguel was knowledgeable and entertaining. Would recommend to any level of cooking expertise.

Cooking with Miguel was fun, informative and delicious. Miguel is charming, and a wonderful teacher.

Great class. Very informative and fun. Totally recommend for a Mexican cooking experience and located near center of town.

Miguel (and Max) were amazing! This was the highlight of our trip. Great food, wine and locale. Highly recommend this. Amazing time!!

Miguel was great! So fun & informative. Food was delicious & we learned so much. Would love to take another class from him next time.

I never got the chance to experience the Cook & Dine in San Miguel de Allende, the class was canceled the night prior. I was so upset being that our plans were arranged around this class and for them to tell me the day before was very unprofessional. Will not use Trip Advisor again if this is how they treat customers.

This was a highlight of my trip to San Miguel. My spouse and I had so much fun. Miguel was so informative and the food was delicious! Not to mention the home where the class was held is absolutely stunning! I cannot recommend this experience more highly. Thank you again Miguel!
