Fantastic authentic cooking classes from start to finish!

I seek out traditional cooking classes in every country I explore, and Aura's were some of the best I've experienced yet. Hosted by warm and inviting chefs in a beautiful locale, the day is filled with insights into Mexican culture, lots of laughter, and delicious fresh food. I took both the in-person Authentic Mexican Cooking class and the Mastering Mexican Salsas class. While neither of these classes are strictly vegan, there were other vegans and vegetarians in both of the classes I took, and the staff knows what's up. They're mindful about veganism in ways that leave you feeling seen and respected (for example, during the market tour they'll divide the group so that while omnivores are off exploring the meat section, you're kept far from that section learning about local fruits and vegetables). I do recommend that you don't make plans for immediately after the class as both of mine went long (one by hours, and the chefs didn't mind at all, they were seemingly enjoying the food and conversation just as much as we were and never rushed anyone or commented on the time.) While definitely not the cheapest cooking course I've taken in the world, I left feeling that for all that the day provided, the price was an absolute bargain. Highly recommended!

Pros: Awesome way to immerse yourself in Mexican culture, You'll leave absolutely stuffed, Recipes are delicious

Cons: Classes are not strictly vegan
