How could we possibly eat another bite? But it was time for our cooking class at Casa Jacaranda. We met up with our chefs, Beto and Jorge at the Mercado Medellin to discuss our menu and buy ingredients. After we aligned on the menu, Beto shopped while Jorge gave us a tour of the market.
After about 90 minutes at the market, it was time to head to the kitchen and start cooking.
We made tortillas, mole, empanadas and a couple varieties of salsa all from scratch. After a couple hours of chopping, sauteing, mashing and mixing, it was time to enjoy the results of our efforts. Jorge made us delicious cocktails to enjoy with our food.
Just when we thought we were done, we were told to head upstairs, where there was a lovely rooftop deck set up for lunch. It was time to enjoy our mole. But apparently we had all forgotten about the empanadas we made.
What a great time we had! We all truly enjoyed the family style cooking. It was an intimate group and Beto and Jorge felt like old friends. The traveling hillbilly highly recommends this experience.
