My wife and I took this class looking forward to an informative, educational cooking experience with a market tour. The tour of the market at Etla was terrific, but the class afterwards was not worth it at all. First, don't expect Susana Trilling to be there. The woman who took us on the market tour, who was lovely, taught the... More

We took the one day class mostly for my girlfriend who is a very good cook. I, myself, am a very good eater so it worked out well for both of us. Yolanda took us for a tour of the Etla market and we sampled at least six things, none of which we had had before and all were good... More

I spent a week having one of the most memorable experiences of my life. I was there for a Chef’s Intensive weeklong course. I run a Mexican resto in Maine and was wishing for inspiration and new menu ideas. Susana Trilling is a perfect teacher and host. I was lucky to be in a small class with others who will... More

We were picked up and taken to the market in Etla where we learned about and then got to try, fruits, vegetables, cheeses, spices, tamales, etc. Our appetite was whetted and then we went on to the cooking school where the set-up is truly professional and welcoming. Chef and author, Susana Trilling walked us through the recipes we would make... More

I took a 7 day cooking course with a group of friends. What a truly amazing experience! Susanna and her staff were always professional, ready to assist and they went to great lengths to try and make our experience as memorable as possible. I never felt like a tourist, rather a very welcome guest in the houses of the locals... More

Spent five days with friends at Seasons of My Heart. Susana Trilling is an excellent chef and teacher, and her marvellous staff magically appear if you so much as think about making a mistake. We went into the countryside, meeting local cooks and learning about traditional foods and ways of cooking; visited markets, tasting many foods; and we cooked three... More

Took the 1 week course with a group of international friends, and we had fun from the moment we started until we finished, Susanna and her team are fantastic, the tours were informative, educational, revealing and really opened up a different perspective on Mexican food. The cookery classes were both a challenge and easily accomplished thanks to the assistance of... More

This cooking school is a must do in Oaxaca. Your day starts with a trip to a local market. We "tasted" our way through the market sampling tamales, breads, cheese, sorbets, and spices, as well as picking up ingredients for our upcoming class, and learning a lot about cooking utensils and methods.. We then went on to Susan's ranch -with... More
