Mexcian

A culinary exploration of culture - from chiles to chocolate - exploring the traditional cuisines of Oaxaca, Mexico through cooking classes, dine arounds and markets tours. With 17 indigenous Indian groups from the Oaxacan valleys, mountains and coastal regions contributing to this robust cuisine, Oaxaca today offers a wide variety of eating pleasures - lifting what was basically peasant food to incredible heights of culinary sophistication. Oaxaca is really the place of choice to experience authentic pre-Hispanic flavors; flavors that were enhanced by the skills of early convent nuns and perfected by present-day chefs.
