Tamales & Mexican Hot Chocolate

Description

You may know Tamales as the infamous filling stuffed corn husks that the entire family gets involved to prepare, sometimes even days in advance!

We're excited to offer you an authentic Tamales making experience, led by our Mexican Chef Instructor. Here you will learn to make masa dough, along with both a sweet and savory filling. For our vegan and vegetarian friends, we will have tofu available. Otherwise, chicken tamales will be the star of the menu!

Entering into the festive winter season, while we wait for the tamales to steam, we'll switch gears and make an authentic Mexican hot chocolate-also known as champurrado. Sip on your cocoa, or save it to enjoy with your strawberry filled tamales for a delicious sweet treat.

No experience is required! We provide all the equipment and ingredients, which are easy to find at local markets if you don’t already have them in your home kitchen. Our events are casual and meant to be fun and instructive, not hardcore. This class is designed to be just as fun for the cooking enthusiast who wants to be a part of every step as it is for the first-timer who’s happier observing and assisting (or taste testing).

Please arrive 15 minutes early to check in. You will be seated with your booking party and socially distanced from other guests. Guests in the same booking party will work together throughout the class by sharing ingredients and equipment. Drinks are NOT included in the ticket price, but will be available for sale at the venue. Outside drinks are not allowed. 21+ only.

My husband and I went to Sandro's class on making tamales and Mexican hot chocolate. I like the design of class. We did do another class by cocusocial and it was a lot larger. This class had about 6 couples and was more intimate and less hectic. Sandro explained everthing well and really had a love for this traditional food. The stories of his culture help us really appreciate the experience along with the food.

It was a lovely experience. Chef Sandro answered every question and accommodated to whatever allergy or lifestyle you may have. It’s perfect for date night or solo date. Everyone was very friendly. There is a chance to meet and get to know other people in the class while making the hot chocolate. Overall it was amazing! I learned a lot and had fun.
