Two of Baja's premier resort destinations have joined forces for a series of dinner events.

The first dinner will be hosted by La Cocina Que Canta, Rancho La Puerta's restaurant/cooking school on Mexican Mother's Day, May 10.

The chef for the dinner will be Rancho La Puerta's Denise Roa.

Note:  There is some contradicting information about the location of the Mother's Day dinner, but I'm pretty sure the location is La Cocina Que Canta.
