"Casa Jacaranda Food and Market Tour Mexican-food experts Jorge Fitz and Alberto Estúa Zardaín open their warm, whimsically decorated 1913 Colonia Roma town house to visitors and guests (by appointment only) for extraordinary market and cooking experiences—and knowledge that stays with participants well after they leave Mexico . Proceedings begin at bountiful Medellín Market, where hosts and participants seek out what’s best for that day’s recipe, then retreat to the test kitchen at Casa Jacaranda to prepare everything—salsas, marinades, side dishes, and mains—from scratch, learning key techniques like using molcajetes , tatemada roasting, and wrapping tamales. Best of all is taking your seat on the rooftop terrace, beneath the house’s namesake tree, to eat all the goodies you prepared, washed down with craft cocktails and aged tequila."
