Description
The Bold and the BeautifulMexican cuisine, with its bold tastes and colors, is a unique blend of indigenous food traditions with European influences that evolved over the course of thousands of years. Under the direction of our instructors, try your hand at working with traditional ingredients and cooking methods to create a variety of authentic Mexican dishes.
The workshop will begin with a demonstration of one of the most elemental techniques of Mexican cuisine: how to turn dry corn into nixtamal—the masa dough used to make tortillas and tamales. You and your classmates will then make fresh tortillas by hand, create a trio of salsas, cook frijoles de la hoya (stewed beans) with classic Mexican rice, and compose a chile verde, a popular dish of braised pork in tomatillo sauce.
To round out your knowledge, you'll learn how to employ traditional garnishes for Mexican dishes, as well as how to set a traditional Mexican table, before sitting down at the table with your classmates to enjoy the meal you've created.
