What you can expect

Discover the flavours, traditions, and stories behind one of Mexico's most iconic dishes on this unique dining experience in San Andrés Calpan, a community known for its close relationship with chile en nogada and located in the foothills of the majestic Popocatépetl.

After pick-up from your hotel in Puebla, travel to the home of a local traditional cook who will open her doors to share with you knowledge passed down from generation to generation. The experience begins with a visit to her garden, where you can pick some of the fresh ingredients that will be used to prepare the dish.

Afterwards, you will take part in an authentic cooking class where you will learn step by step how the traditional chile en nogada is made, from the preparation of the ingredients to the final plating. While cooking, you'll learn about the history, cultural significance, and traditions that have made this dish one of Puebla's greatest culinary prides.

More than a cooking lesson, this experience will allow you to spend time with a local family, learn about their lifestyle, and discover the region's cultural richness through its cuisine.

At the end, you'll share the table with your hostess to taste the chile en nogada that you helped prepare, accompanied by other traditional flavours of Puebla cuisine. An authentic, intimate, and memorable experience for those who want to get to know Puebla in its most genuine essence.
