I’m Karla,

a Mexican cookery teacher, author, food writer and caterer, originally from beautiful Baja California in northern Mexico, and proudly based in London since 2003. Before I ever taught people how to make tortillas, I was a secondary school teacher… so teaching is in my DNA! Today, I teach authentic Mexican cooking in a fun, relaxed and hands-on way from my cosy home studio in East Finchley / Hampstead Garden Suburb, where I welcome small groups of up to six people at a time — just enough to cook properly, laugh lots and eat very well. I also host colourful Mexican supper clubs at my home (yes, it’s decorated in full Mexican style!) for up to twelve guests, and I cater for private and corporate events when you want something truly special on the table. Since I remember I have always loved cooking, especially my family Mexican recipes, you know, the ones you have in your heart and takes you back to Mexico every time you eat them.
