Celebrate independence month as millions of Mexicans do with this chile en nogada cooking class and festive dinner!
Discover the fascinating story behind one of Mexico's best-loved dishes before rolling up your sleeves and preparing it yourself using fresh seasonal ingredients at the beautiful Condesa home of your chef/guide.
Around two hours later, use Mexican Independence Day paraphernalia and serveware made by local artisans to prepare a picture-perfect table, then dig in to a delicious sweet-and-savoury poblano pepper stuffed with protein, fruit & nuts and served with a creamy walnut sauce and garnish.
