5A Masterclass in Mexican Cuisine
I've taken cooking classes in Italy, the USA, Guatemala, and Mexico, and I've come away with many delicious recipes. Chef David's recipes are outstanding too. However, today was the first class where I left with more than recipes. I truly felt I gained new cooking skills and learned new techniques, along with a deeper understanding of the cuisine and its ingredients. It was awesome! Highly recommend.
5More than just a cooking class!
The cooking class my husband and I took in San Miguel was easily a standout of our trip. While the food was fantastic, what we really appreciated was the deep dive into the history of every dish. It wasn’t just a "how-to"; our instructor shared the stories behind the ingredients and how the local cuisine evolved, which gave us a much deeper connection to what we were making. Beyond the big-picture history, he peppered the session with great little technical tips—small things about heat management and knife work that you don't usually find in a standard recipe book. We can’t wait to start using them back in our own kitchen. It felt less like a formal lecture and more like hanging out with an expert who genuinely loves the craft. If you're in San Miguel and want to understand the culture through the food, this is the way to do it.
5The class exceeded our...
The class exceeded our expectations. David is a great teacher who adds fascinating history of world cuisine to his course. The food was delicious.
5Must do! Exceptional experience
David is an exceptional chef with a gift for teaching and a deep desire to share his knowledge at a level that each of us can understand. The food we made was extraordinary and I can’t wait to make it at home.
5Great time, great food
Great experience and great food! David is an impressive teacher- both about Mexican culture and tradition and also basic culinary techniques. The market tour was a nice addition.
5Marvelous Cooking Experience
Absolutely wonderful . David is so knowledgeable and we learned so much. Loved the recipes that we made and it was so great hearing about all the food history. Enjoyed cooking and seeing David's garden. Like to get him my email so he can send me the recipes we made together. He sent me a request for the email on Viator.

About San Miguel de Allende
San Miguel de Allende is a colonial hill town in Mexico's central highlands, with a pink-stone church, cobbled streets, galleries and an art school.
San Miguel de Allende sits at about 1,900 metres in the Bajío highlands of Guanajuato, a town of cobbled streets and painted colonial houses built when silver and trade made the region rich. The Parroquia de San Miguel Arcángel, with its pink sandstone spires, dominates the Jardín, the main square. The town takes the second half of its name from Ignacio Allende, a leader of the independence movement born here, and the historic centre is a World Heritage site.
