Who can resist a serenade from a mariachi band on the beach?

We took a cooking class at The Little Mexican Cooking School and had a great time. Its an all day event and you not only learn how to cook a few great Mexican dishes but you learn so much about the culture.Here my son is getting a tutorial from chef Pablo on how to sharpen your knife.

Roasting the tomatoes and peppers for salsa.

Chef Pablo demonstrates how guacamole has all the colours of the mexican flag using red tomatoes, green peppers and white onion.

The guacamole 

We made 5 different salsa's and some looked like a hot sauce rather than a salsas but chef Pablo explained a salsa is a condiment not just a chip dip. They are used on meats as a way to enhance the flavour.

Breakfast on this morning was fresh fruit yogurt and granola, it was so simple and so good.

Some of our favourite things about spending time in Mexico are Taco's, Salsa's, Margaritas, the warm weather, beautiful beaches, the warm ocean and the friendly Mexican people.
