“ An unforgettable culinary adventure in Oaxaca! We attended Seasons of My Heart Cooking School as part of a group culinary adventure, and it was truly the highlight of our time in Oaxaca. ”

“ It's an inspiring story how Chef Susana Trilling celebrated Oaxacan cooking and evolved the cooking school, now run by her son Chef Kaelin. Our group spent an unforgettable 5 hours with his assistant Alex and the exceptional staff. ”

“ My friends and I had a marvelous experience! We enjoyed our visit to the market with Alex, our chef for the day. We liked the small group size — it made for an intimate and friendly atmosphere when we prepared our meal in the beautiful kitchen. ”

“ This was a wonderful immersive experience that I would recommend to anyone looking for a deep dive into the foods of Oaxaca. Chef Kaelin was a superb guide, taking us through the largest market in the city where we sampled food and met many vendors.”
