Highlights
Commemorate Mexican independence like a local with a delectable chile en nogada in a beautiful local home. Discover the dish's fascinating history and prepare it from scratch like thousands of families around Mexico. Learn about how the new Mexican nation converted a colonial recipe for delicious meat-, fruit- and nut-stuffed Poblano peppers in creamy walnut sauce into a symbol of their young country's extraordinary gastronomy, then prepare the dish from scratch using fresh local ingredients under the guidance of an expert chef. Around two hours later, enjoy the delicious results of your efforts at a table you've decorated with handmade serveware and festive decorations.

About Mexico City
Mexico City is a vast, high-altitude capital built over the Aztec city of Tenochtitlan, rich in museums, murals, markets and outstanding food.
The Zócalo, one of the largest squares in the world, is framed by the Metropolitan Cathedral and the National Palace, where Diego Rivera's murals tell the story of Mexico. Beside them, the excavated Templo Mayor reveals the heart of the Aztec capital, and the Palacio de Bellas Artes, with its marble exterior and Art Deco interior, stands a short walk west.
Top-ranked sights in Mexico City: Teotihuacán, Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe, Frida Kahlo Museum (Museo Frida Kahlo).
