Description
Observe and participate actively in the journey that starts with dried corn kernels and ends with the tortilla itself. Make tortillas under the guidance of a true expert and learn the ancient technique of Nixtamal. This is a unique “only in Mexico” experience with hands-on learning and corn deep-dive knowledge. If you’re a home cook who wants to learn more about Mexican food, or you’re simply curious about an ingredient that cuts across all areas of Mexican gastronomy, this experience is for you. Corn tortillas are the bedrock of Central Mexican cooking, but several native Mexican corn strains are now in danger of disappearing. In this workshop and class, you’ll learn the history and importance of Mexican corn and what’s needed to save the heirloom strains from extinction. Also, learn how to make salsa in a molcajete (ancient volcanic stone mortar).
