Chef Molly to Teach at the Culinary Art School Tijuana, Mexico

My trip to the Culinary Art School in Tijuana Mexico started back in August when I was asked to be one of the featured Woman Chef's of the Pacific Rim at  Art San Diego at the Hilton San Diego Bay Front. That is where I first meet Javier Gonzlez Vizca. He and his wife Chef Ana Laura Martinez Gardoqui are the directors and founders of the school.

When I think of Tijuana I don't think of a stunning “state of the art Culinary School but low and behold that is what I found. 

The new campus is only about two months old and already growing. There are three amazing instructional kitchens with top of the line equipment. They will be adding a fourth kitchen shortly.

 I have been asked to be a guest instructor at the school to teach a series of catering classes.

Even the smallest of details have been seen to. These are the woman's lockers (I was told that the men's lockers have chili's names)

Our host Javier.

After a whirl wind tour of Tj Javier took us to a very cool coffee house owned by two of his former students. 

Perfection!

We had the bright idea of parking State side so that we could just walk back across at the end of the day (I was told that it would only talk about 1/2 hour). It took over 2 hours to WALK back and then another 3/4 of a mile walk back to the car; next time we drive.
