Our Spanish school in Cuernavaca is offering a very unique experience where you can learn Spanish and at the same time explore the exciting world of Mexican Cuisine. This isn't your typical taco shack Mexican food.
The Chefs of our neighbor to the South have brought their gastronomy to world class levels. They take essential farm fresh products along with amazing recipes combining spices, chiles, and lots of love to create dishes at the highest level of flavor from around the globe.
The "Sabores de Mexico" Program will include 3 hours of Spanish classes Monday to Friday starting at 9AM, with a short break for coffee, followed by discussions of Mexican Cuisine, cooking classes, and city or market tours on select days.
You will have your lunch and dinner at local restaurants, so that you can sample the different dishes for yourself. During the afternoon cuisine portion you will learn about the fundamental aspects of authentic Mexican gastronomy from its Prehispanic origins to contemporary cuisine, including regional dishes, and haute cuisine. A very important part of the learning is the hands on experience including making fresh tortillas and the more technical chile relleno.
