Mexican Cooking Class

Embark on a tantalizing journey that goes beyond the cliche of chips and salsa with this Mexican cooking class with Edinburgh New Town Cookery School. Viva la Mexico!

You'll start your cooking workshop with coffee and tea as you watch the captivating demonstration led by your supportive chef and teacher. Here you'll be introduced to some cooking techniques and recipes from this iconic cuisine.

Throughout the day, you'll be transported to different regions of Mexico, each with its own distinctive culinary heritage. From the sun-drenched shores of Baja California to the captivating flavours of Michoacán, you'll learn to prepare authentic dishes that celebrate the diversity of this vibrant country.

In this class, you will learn how to cook with a range of dried chillies, salsas, masa, and spices, as they come together to create the remarkable freshness and complexity that define Mexican cuisine.

Savour some of your delicious dishes at lunch with a glass of wine or beer. The rest, you can take home and share with your loved ones. Or why not bring them along if you're on the hunt for fun things to do in Edinburgh with your pals? This teacher can offer private classes.
