Mesones Sacristía Cooking School Mole Class

Mesones Sacristía Cooking School operates its mole class out of the Mesones Sacristía hotel property on 6 Sur in the Callejón de los Sapos area of Puebla's Centro Histórico, one of the city's longer-running hotel-based cooking programs. The four-to-five-hour session begins with a short walk from the hotel to a nearby market to shop for the ingredients needed for mole poblano, giving participants a look at how the sauce's chiles, nuts, and spices are sourced locally. Back in the hotel's kitchen, a staff chef leads the group through the full mole-making process, from toasting and blending the ingredient base to simmering the sauce to its finished consistency. The class ends with a full sit-down meal featuring the mole the group has prepared, usually served with chicken and rice in the hotel's dining room. A printed recipe card is provided so participants can repeat the dish at home. Because the class is based at a hotel with an established teaching kitchen, group sizes and pacing tend to be consistent, and the hotel can generally accommodate requests for milder spice levels or protein substitutions when notified in advance. The Callejón de los Sapos setting also puts the class within walking distance of the historic center's antique market and colonial architecture, making it easy to combine with other sightseeing that day.
