My husband and I enjoyed Chef Mavi's superior cooking class in October 2012. She was everything you would expect after reading all of these glowing reviews and more! She is kind, considerate, knowledgeable and informative. She helped us to appreciate the local markets and cuisine that Puerto Vallarta has to offer. She welcomed us into her home as if we... More

We spent a memorable day with Chef Mavi last week. After reading the reviews, we had high expectations. Our have to say our expectations were exceeded by the warmth of Chef Mavi. We visited markets that until last week we would have never know their existance. She was fantastic is showing us her shopping skills and preparation. It was a... More

What a fantastic way to spend a day in PV. Mavi picked us up at our resort and we were off to tour the town with a long-time local. She shared great stories with us about growing up in Mexico and how the flavors she loved as a child could be translated to anything. For instance, a tamarind margarita, rimmed... More

This was a great experience, and will most likely do this again in the future. One of the biggest thrills (for us at least) was Chef taking you on a whirlwind tour of "where the food is" - from a tortilla factory, to butcher, fish market, and produce/spice markets, all with pointing out very interesting things, particularly those items which...

I was very excited to be spending my Tuesday with Chef Mavi Graf. She picked us up from our resort and drove us into old Puerto Vallarta, small cobble stoned streets saturated with the culture of the people, restaurants, vendors, & shops. We visited about 5 places to include a fish market, fruit market, a tour of some small restaurants,... More

Mavi's expertise and love for food inspired me to come home and immeialtely apply what she shared with me to our local fair! Her excitement for the local food offerings in her community not only made our experience more rich and satisfying; I couldn't wait to apply her techniques and the spices I purchased to our food at home. I... More

We were lucky to meet Chef Mavi through mutual friends on a trip to PV in 2012 and were spoiled by her amazing creations at a casual "pot luck" - if you dare call it that. Her food makes such an impression, so many layers of goodness! Even more impressive is her easy style and obvious love for her community... More

Mavi has the unique ability to share her passion for cooking combined with her fun, spirited personality to create a memorable experience. The food was fabulous and the atmosphere casual and fun. I thought the best crab cakes were in Seattle and San Francisco, but now I know they are in Mexico in Mavi's kitchen!! Renee & Bob Chatalas

This day turned into one of the highlights of our trip. We gave this day as a wedding present to our friends and it was a wonderful experience. We were taken through the city to different markets and stores, and we got a nice feel for Puerto Vallarta in a way that we wouldn't on a group tour. Dinner at... More
