I learned to cook where the best Mexican cooks learn: next to my grandmother. I have degrees in bakery and pastries from the Cloister of Sister Joan, and I just finished studying gastronomy, and together with my mom we have a cafeteria in the city.

I have been creating gastronomic experiences for travelers from all over the world for more than two years, and what matters most to me is not that you learn a recipe, but that when you finish you feel that in Mexico you will always have a friend.

About Mexico City
Mexico City is one of the world’s great urban destinations, a sprawling capital where deep history and modern creativity meet at every turn. Built on the remains of the Aztec city of Tenochtitlan, it offers a rare chance to experience pre-Hispanic ruins, colonial plazas, grand boulevards, and cutting-edge museums in a single trip. Visitors come for its extraordinary cultural depth, but they stay for the energy: leafy neighborhoods, vibrant street life, acclaimed cuisine, and a calendar packed with art, music, and festivals. The city’s appeal lies in its contrasts. You can spend the morning exploring a UNESCO-listed historic center, the afternoon drifting through Frida Kahlo’s blue house or the canals of Xochimilco, and the evening dining at a Michelin-recognized restaurant or a lively neighborhood taquería. Mexico City also works beautifully as a city break because it combines major sights with easy access to day trips, including Teotihuacan and surrounding volcanic landscapes. For travelers seeking culture, food, architecture, and authenticity, Mexico City delivers at a level few capitals can match. It is dynamic, layered, and endlessly rewarding, with something new to discover in every district.
