One day I will make a pilgrimage to the Oaxacan region of Mexico for a most delicious holiday.  I will arrive at my destination, traditional Mexican whisk in hand, for a some serious learning mixed with a liberal helping of culture and gastronomic indulgence. 

I'll attend the beautifully named Seasons of my Heart Cooking School run by fantastic chef, culinary guru, and PBS cooking show host Susana Trilling.  So much more than a week in the kitchen, this is a full 'foodie' immersion.  I'll take a tasting tour of the local market and purchase ingredients for the afternoon cook-off.  A mycologist (a mushroom expert) will accompany participants on a mushroom foraging expedition and we'll make the three sumptuous cheeses of the Oaxaca region.  A fantastic feast is prepared under the expert guidance of chef Susana - and then we enjoy!

This is a Fantasy Friday that will certainly come true.  We all have to eat, right?  And if you love Mexican Food, you might as well go to Mexico to learn how to do it right.  Susana Trilling, I hope you have an apron with my name on it because Seasons of My Heart sounds like a fantastic way to take a foodie's dream holiday and do my Mexican food loving family a favour at the same time!
