The Real Traditional Oaxaca Cooking class
Greetings, everyone! I'm Chef Miguel Alvarez. After years of honing my craft in fine dining kitchens across Scandinavia, my culinary perspective underwent a profound transformation, beckoning me back to my origins. Thus, I established "The Real Oaxaca Cooking Experience" at Quinta Brava. My mission? To resurrect the ancestral wisdom of authentic Oaxacan cuisine and the enchantment it embodies. My workshops aim to immerse you in the time-honored techniques and tools that our forebears cherished. Together, in our hands-on cooking sessions, we will explore a diverse array of recipes native to the diverse regions of Oaxaca—all centered around the traditional “Lorena” wood stove, named for its unique mud and sand construction. Step into the role of a lead chef and shape your adventure with us, crafting everything from scratch with your own two hands. Join me in keeping the spirit of ancient Oaxacan culinary arts alive.
