What you can expect

Explore the diversity of Mexican chillies in a hands-on salsa class within the most biodiverse market in Mexico and Latin America. Start with an introduction to chillies, guided by a chef specialising in the gastronomy of Mexico and Oaxaca. Then, take a tour of the market, where you will collect fresh chillies and other ingredients such as fruits and spices.

With the ingredients in hand, stay in an area of the market, where, under the chef's supervision, prepare five different salsas: a traditional red salsa, a fruit salsa with chilli, a dry salsa, a fresh salsa, and a creamy salsa. Finally, enjoy a tasting, pairing each salsa with tortilla chips or fresh tortillas. Celebrate the richness of chillies and learn how to create salsas that highlight the authentic flavours of Mexico. Ah o sea que ya lo hace automático.
