点评:I chose Sazón Cooking School as my birthday experience in San Miguel de Allende, and from the very first moment it felt truly special. The morning began at Belmond Casa de Sierra Nevada, where we were welcomed with their signature drink—an elegant, refreshing gesture that set the tone for a day rooted in warmth, tradition, and quiet luxury.
Led by the wonderful Chef Priscila Contreras, a talented young woman cooking from her grandmother’s teachings, we learned how to prepare Mexican mole entirely from scratch. Every step felt intentional, every ingredient meaningful. This wasn’t just a class—it was a story passed down through generations, told through aroma, texture, and flavor. The result was deeply soulful and absolutely delicious.
One of the most memorable parts of the experience was visiting the local mercado de Ramirez together. Walking through vibrant stalls, learning to identify authentic ingredients, shopping for fresh produce, and understanding the cultural importance behind each element made the experience feel intimate and immersive—true slow travel at its finest.
From the gracious Belmond welcome to the hands-on cooking and market immersion, this was a beautifully curated experience that blends culture, cuisine, and elegance. If you’re celebrating something special—or simply want to connect more deeply with Mexico’s culinary heritage—this is an absolute must to include on your trip.
And as if the day wasn’t already magical, we discovered something beautiful at the end: Sazón Cooking School and I share the very same birth date. ✨
A small, serendipitous detail—yet it felt like a quiet wink from the universe, making the experience even more personal, meaningful, and unforgettable. Some celebrations are simply meant to be.
翻译:我选择在圣米格尔德阿连德的萨松烹饪学校(Sazón Cooking School)作为我的生日体验,从一开始我就觉得这趟旅程无比特别。清晨,我们入住贝尔蒙德卡萨德塞拉内华达酒店(Belmond Casa de Sierra Nevada),酒店为我们奉上了招牌饮品——这份优雅清爽的礼物,为接下来充满温暖、传统和静谧奢华的一天定下了基调。
在才华横溢的年轻厨师普里西拉·孔特雷拉斯(Priscila Contreras)的带领下,我们学习了如何从零开始制作墨西哥鼹鼠酱(mole)。她传承了祖母的烹饪技艺。每一个步骤都经过精心设计,每一种食材都蕴含着意义。这不仅仅是一堂课,更是一个代代相传的故事,通过香气、口感和味道娓娓道来。最终的成品令人回味无穷,美味至极。
此次体验中最令人难忘的部分之一是我们一起参观了当地的拉米雷斯市场(Mercado de Ramirez)。漫步在熙熙攘攘的摊位间,学习辨别地道的食材,挑选新鲜的农产品,并了解每样食材背后的文化意义,让整个体验既亲密又沉浸其中——这才是真正的慢旅行。
从贝尔蒙德酒店热情周到的欢迎仪式,到亲手烹饪和深入体验当地市场,这是一次精心策划的体验,完美融合了文化、美食和优雅。如果您正在庆祝某个特别的日子,或者只是想更深入地了解墨西哥的烹饪传统,那么这绝对是您旅行中不可错过的精彩体验。
仿佛这一天还不够神奇似的,我们在最后发现了一个美好的巧合:萨松烹饪学校和我竟然是同一天生日!✨
一个小小的巧合,却仿佛是宇宙轻轻眨了眨眼,让这次体验更加个性化、更有意义、更令人难忘。有些庆祝,仿佛命中注定。
