Cocina Tradicional en Fogón

Book your Class

My name is Virginia Hernández. I’m a traditional cook. I have 18 years of experience in different places. Currently I’m located close to the Monte Albán archeological site. The kitchen is an authentic place where you’ll be in contact with nature because of its open setup. I learned from my grandmother, my mother, and from family friends. The cooking classes are quite and unique experience.

Cooking Class Corn

The class begins with a walk through the Abastos Market to buy the ingredients, always fresh and organic.

Then, we go to the area of the Monte Alban archeological site, where a delicious coffee or tea await for us. After a small meal, we continue with the class, we cook Nixtamal from scratch, we make a corn-based hot drink, salsa, wild greens soup and to finish mole from paste.
