Puerto Vallarta, Mexico - The entire team at the traditional Mexican restaurant El Arrayán is happy to announce that starting October 6th they will resume their famous Traditional Mexican Cooking Classes. Owner/Chef Carmen Porras and Chef Alfonso Corona will be teaching participants how to prepare a wide variety of classical Mexican dishes.

They have planned over 35 recipes from diverse regions throughout Mexico this season. More than 1000 former participants surveyed wanted to learn how to prepare more classic Mexican Delicacies and now El Arrayán will offer an amazing opportunity to learn how to make moles, tamales, fresh salsas, desserts, and more.

As reported by Luxury Experience, "Carmen is someone who loves learning about and sharing traditional ways of cooking, reads antique cookbooks for inspiration and knowledge, and watches food shows on the television. With this as her culinary DNA, over the course of the class, she gave advice, and also imparted cultural and historical recipe knowledge as well, which made for a very interesting and memorable experience."
