History and culture in every scene

As in all our experiences, the hosts' dialogue and the event's activities are written with real information about Mexican history and culture. You have fun and, without even noticing, you learn. While you cook or taste, the hosts explain the origin of each ingredient and technique and its place in Mexican history.

Format and customization

“The Fisherman's Compass” is one of our Mexican cooking classes productions. We can adapt it to your venue, group size, menu and language, as a private event or on dates open to the public.
