Cooking class in Mexico City
And the goings-on are more spectacular than ever. Casa Jacaranda experiences have moved forward with even more guest participation, in the new, bohemian heart of Mexico City's Juárez quarter. It all happens in a nineteenth-century palace that is a real sight to see.
Once you get going, you’ll be amazed what you learn and what you can do. The exercise of chopping an ingredient you never saw, that you will soon eat, leads to many meditative moments. Some guests get so into it they tattoo themselves for a lifetime souvenir.
A grand entrance awaits. Casa Jacaranda’s door opens to a kicky little lobby, but soon enough you’ll jibe to the entire space’s spectacular combination of serious cooking, eclectic decor and a very warm, knockout welcome.
The ones we first tried out. Start at the market and choose the day’s finest, most delicious ingredients. Back at the casa, real work begins. You’ll eat up everything you see, smell and make with your own two hands.
Casa doors now open to nocturnal delights. After a welcome toast, it’s time to go all out, putting together a feast from the day’s best selections. You’ll prepare, you’ll cook and it’s a jolly good time as you dig in.
You asked for it—you got it. Gung-ho culinary pros and enthusiasts fall in for an intense, multi-day experience. You’ll blaze new paths to tastes, timing and other Mexican kitchen skills you always dreamed of mastering.
Our three 2025 dates are: June 26-28; September 4-6 and 11-13.

Just over an hour’s ride south of Mexico City, Cuernavaca is the perfect day trip! Enjoy a unique, hands-on cooking experience where you can explore a charming garden and create traditional family meals. Check it out.
We don’t like boasts and brags but the Jacaranda experience often books solid, sometimes for weeks. Pull the trigger quick and get ready for your place in a never before seen Mexico City bohemia.
The magic you’ll taste depends on the best possible ingredients. Meet up with Casa Jacaranda chefs at bustling, old-fashioned markets, chat with favorite purveyors and start to feel what’s in store.
We never imagined we'd have such loyal fans. They say the Casa Jacaranda “hangover” leaves you thinking about life’s befores and afters, days later, or maybe forever.

It’s been eight years since Beto and Jorge started cooking for guests beneath their venerable jacaranda. Near-instant success kicked off a journey that led to even deeper love for Mexican tastes, pulling off a culinary experience like no other.
With every step, chefs serve up culinary history; Mexican cooking includes an array of emotional side dishes. You’ll learn to make food with ingredients like love and the magical touch we call sazón.
Because we entertain visitors from around the world, our experiences are generally in English. Spanish-language sessions are available with advance notice.
When you book, please mention allergies or restrictions in the space provided. Note that Mexican cooking is especially varied and naturally gluten free.
Normally six or eight participants. At private events, we can accommodate fifteen, in a modified class environment. The new space includes a spectacular patio available for bigger groups. If you’re more than eight, drop a line at hola@casajacaranda.mx.
