About Barbara
Barbara Santos McAllister Founder & Heart Behind Cocina Corazón Since 2017, I’ve been sharing the vibrant soul of Mexico through immersive, hands-on cooking experiences. As the founder of Cocina Corazón, my passion is rooted in the traditional recipes passed down from my abuelitas—filled with flavor, love, and generations of cultural wisdom. With over 200 all five-star reviews, I’ve taught a wide range of students—from children and families to corporate teams and international guests. Whether I’m guiding a group through the delicate steps of chiles en nogada, or leading a lively kitchen full of mole poblano and music, every class is an invitation to connect, celebrate, and cook with corazón. My approach is warm, inclusive, and highly personalized. I teach not only how to make a dish, but the story behind it—because food is culture, memory, and joy. Whether you're joining me online, in my studio in Green Mountain Falls, CO, or in the comfort of your home, I’ll bring the flavors of Mexico to your table. Let’s cook something meaningful together.
