I had the opportunity to take a class with Elena Reygadas on Wednesday, January 7, an experience of approximately 2.5 hours, and it was truly unforgettable.
Beyond being a chef with an extraordinary career and achievements, Elena is a deeply generous, close and passionate human being. His way of sharing knowledge, explaining processes, and transmitting his love for Mexican cuisine makes each recipe take on a special meaning.
Learning three recipes from him was not only a technical lesson, but an experience full of sensitivity, respect for the ingredients, and an authentic connection with the origin of the flavors. His restaurant and bakery have long been great references for me, but living this experience confirmed why his work transcends: there is heart, conscience and a genuine passion in everything he does.
I left inspired, grateful and with a huge respect for his vision. An experience that I would definitely recommend and that stays with me.
