The highlight of my Mexico City trip was my day spent at Aura Cocina Mexicana Aura Cocina Mexicana - Aura Mexican Cooking ! I booked the Essence of Mexico class and market tour and had a phenomenal time.
Chef pame* Ortiz was our teacher for the day and explained the key ingredients we needed to make our multi-course meal. We were able to stop and see fresh tortillas being made and then went to Mercado Medellín to get more background on what ingredients we would be using and had a few tastings 👀🐜
Once we got back to the cooking school we learned how to control the spice levels of our salsas, make our own tortillas, and fold our tamales. My favorite part was obviously eating everything we made along with the mezcal and w**e tasting!
When I return to Mexico City I will definitely be booking another class here! 😋
