Recent reviews of Molé with Martha Perez

  • 5/5 from Danielle N Ring, attended Jun 2025: This was a wonderful experience. My first time taking a cooking class and I'm so glad I did. I went into the class intimidated about making molé and left feeling super confident about making multiple variations! Martha Perez is a lovely person and an amazing instructor. I hope she'll teach more classes as I would sign up in a heartbeat! I loved the fully hands on experience of this class and that we made enough to take home to share with our families. And then, after all our hard work, we got to enjoy a full meal using all three of the molés we learned to make. Delightful time!
  • 5/5 from Laurie Heard, attended Jun 2025: My friend and I have been taking classes at TKE for years now. We love the fun and all the knowledge we gain! Martha was a great instructor. She didn’t get flustered with everyone asking questions and was very sweet. She had a plan and calmly carried it out. She was well organized and had great recipes. I had no idea there was more than one Mole sauce…all three were phenomenal! The food post class was delicious! I would definitely take another class with her!
