| Our Teachers in Oaxaca |
|
|
Fourteen years leading culinary tours to Oaxaca has convinced me that taking small groups (8 to 10 people) and working with native Mexican teachers is the best way to experience and appreciate Oaxacan cuisine. For 2009 we offer to you the following teachers:
|
|
| Nora Gutierrez |
|
Nora is a native of Oaxaca and co-owner with her husband William of Mis Recuerdos Bed and Breakfast. She learned her culinary skills from her mother and grandmother. Her classes are informal, with partial participation, and utilize traditional Oaxacan ingredients to prepare her recipes. Nora is a natural teacher whose enthusiasm for her culinary heritage and personal warmth make her classes an unforgettable experience. Nora's stories of her grandmother, whose life spanned the history of modern Oaxaca, add to the experience.
