The charming colonial city of San Miguel de Allende has a cooking school and boutique, Sazon, which teaches local dishes, along with cooking classes inspired by various regions in Mexico.

"A Mexican cooking school and boutique housed in a magnificent 18th century casa in the heart of San Miguel de Allende, a charming colonial town in the highlands of central Mexico.

At Sazon we run a number of acclaimed cookery courses, covering the different forms of Mexican cuisine, including traditional regional specialities and the some of the more modern favourites.

Each of the classes are taken by our in house chefs, who between them have years of creating delicate dishes with the robust flavours that Mexican cuisine is famed for."

Even if you think you know Mexican food — whether you frequent high-end restaurants or are a taqueria aficionada — these courses will be humbling.

Sazon is owned by the luxury hotel Casa de Sierra Nevada, a hotel of outstanding quality.
