Overview

Casa Crespo is Oaxaca in its kitchen. Tradition lives there, where chef Oscar Carrizosa, (originally from the Mixteca region) mixes the ingredients of the 16 ethnicities of Oaxaca with the original seasoning that he inherited from his grandma. It´s the perfect place to get to know the flavors and aromas of Oaxacan food in the classes that Oscar gives. Oscar, who is very friendly, also shows how to smell and identify the aromas that come of the dishes. He presents menu options and the students decide what they would like to cook. There is no fixed menu. He teaches how to cook 3 types of tortillas, 3 types of salsas, an appetizer, soup, mole, dessert and drink. Dishes that strive to remain in the taste buds and memory of those who love good eating.

Itinerary

During the classes, everyone actively participates. The classes are not designed to simply observe and listen. There is a lot of work to be done: dice vegetables, peel seeds, fry, season, grind and sing…if you like. And nobody washes dishes. There are also vegetarian options to cook as well or dishes for special dietary restrictions. The class follows along with the chosen menu. The classes can be given in English or Spanish, depending on the group´s preference.

Experience Oaxaca: food, culture, history and more!

Published on Dec, 2024

The perfect first introduction to Oaxacan food, drink, history and culture. Oscar is a very gracious and experienced chef/instructor/guide. My young adult daughter and I appreciated his instructions in English. We really enjoyed a 5 course that we selected, including drinks. The menu was delicious and it was catered to the food restrictions we have (no dairy or gluten). Great experience! Good value!

Oscar Time!

Published on Nov, 2024

It was amazing. The walk to the mercado is pleasant, the mercado itself great because there aren't (or at leat weren't) other tourists there, prepping and making the food is a blast and, mostly importantly, the finished products are absolutely delicious.

Highly recommend!

Published on Nov, 2024

Oscar was great - very friendly and clear. The food we cooked was absolutely excellent and the market tour was an added bonus. Oscar sent us the recipes for our menu as soon as we’d finished so we can (try to!) replicate at home. His prices were also very reasonable compared to other classes we looked at. Highly recommend!

Great way to spend a day in Oaxaca!

Published on Nov, 2024

This was so much fun! And everything we made was delicious. Our chef/instructor shared so much about the preparation of each recipe (and some ingredients!). Given the chance, I think everyone in our group of 4 would do it again. A bonus was sharing our meal with people from other parts of the world and other US states.

A great class featuring traditional Oaxaca. Food.

Published on Oct, 2024

We all enjoyed the market tour and hands on class. Oscar was a wonderful guide and teacher and the meal we created was terrific.
