Learn how to make authentic Stuffed Colima Meatballs and Salsa Verde in a cooking class that will wow your senses

When you say “meatballs” chances are a very clear image appears in your head. Put that aside because "Colima" style Mexican Meatballs are far from your traditional meatball but may very well become your new favorite! These traditional Mexican albondigas, made in the style of the small state in western Mexico, Colima, just may become your favorite meal ever. 


Made with a surprising ingredient combination of peppermint, tomatillos and boiled eggs to name a few, each bite will leave an explosion of flavour in your mouth in total anticipation to eat another. While you might find these listed as an appetizer or swimming in a soup on Mexican restaurant menu, here you’ll make them alongside fresh Salsa Verde, seasoned rice and a perfect side of black beans. 


Let Chef Andres transport you to his home kitchen in Mexico where you’ll learn the secrets to this truly authentic dish that many grew up, making and eating, alongside their Abuela (grandmother).

Chef Andres Jordan went way above and beyond! Excellent experience, great personality, the food was absolutely amazing, and my fiancé and I had the perfect date night!! It was great learning also about the history and tradition of this Mexican dish and he was beyond personable which made the experience even better!

My husband and I took the Chicken Tinga class with Chef Andres and highly recommend it! It was one of the most delicious meals I've ever eaten and Andres was such a joy. He was so knowledgeable and incredibly down-to-earth.

Sydney Lambert

My experience with Chef Andrés was absolutely amazing start to finish. His ability to tell a story through food was incredible. His ability to show you how to cook the dish as well as ways to evolve it into your own was incredible. Would book another class in a heartbeat. Would recommend anyone to take his class to learn a lot about cooking a lot about Mexican cuisine and culture. fantastic.

Josh Batista

My husband and I took Chef Andres’ Chicken Tingas class! Not only is he a talented chef, but he was also a wonderful person. His food was absolutely incredible. Unlike anything we have ever had as avid cookers ourselves! He taught us a little bit of history behind Mexican cuisine and gave us amazing tips to use in our cooking along the way! We highly recommend Chef Andres and cannot wait to take one of his classes again! 10/10
