It was the proverbial first step in a journey of a thousand menus!
"The session was a great start to get us into local (Oaxacan) ingredients. It was the proverbial first step in a journey of a thousand menus! The day before we had visited a tianguis (street market) and came back with an assortment of somewhat-randomly chosen fruits, chiles, and vegetables. Marget went through them, telling us their uses and how best to select them next time around. The highlight was the stove-top part of the session, where Margret led us in making an impromptu dish from many of the ingredients. She had us roast onions, garlic, several different chiles, and a variety of the vegetables, and then blend them into a salsa verde -- and her suggestion to add pepitas made it perfect. This went over roasted nopales and miniature squash with a Oaxacan cheese topping, making a delicious lunch. The time was well-used but never rushed. Margret was an excellent guide: friendly, encouraging, and making us feel immediately at ease. We're looking forward to getting some cookware she recommended, making another trip to the market, and doing another session."
