Mexi-Cali Fiesta
Let's taco 'bout ways to fight off the quarantine blues...if you are sad you can no longer just pop out to your favorite neighborhood Mexican restaurant as often as you please, Chef Scott is coming to your rescue! Come join our Chef Instructor based in sunny San Diego for an ultimate Mexi-Cali Fiesta in your very own home kitchen. Roll up your sleeves and get ready to get your hands dirty, because Chef Scott is about to show you how to make tortillas from scratch, create two scrumptious fillings-carne asada and sweet potatoes & black beans-two original condiments, guac, and last but not least, margarita to round out your meal! ¡Ay dios mío! Once you've made your beautiful spread, raise your glass for a virtual toast with your fellow foodies, and Buen Provecho!
In this virtual class you’ll learn to make two different fillings - one meat and one plant based option - as well as Chef's unique sauces to top these savory morsels. And of course, guac and margarita for a full Mexican Fiesta. It’s a delicious and easily come together menu you’ll be able to enjoy with friends and family any time you want. Invite your friends and family to connect with you virtually and enjoy a fun evening of making everyone's favorite comfort food.
No experience is required! We will send you the equipment and ingredients list, which are easy to find and you may already have them in your home kitchen. If you don't have all ingredients, do not despair! Some ingredients can be easily substituted and our Chef will teach you how to make the most of what you already have on hand. Just make sure you have these essential ingredients: beef or ground meat, sweet potatoes or regular potatoes, onions, beans, tomatoes, lime, avocado, oil, corn or regular flour, and spice mix of Ground Cumin, Chili, Garlic, Paprika, Salt, Pepper to bring that Mexican flavor. You will have an opportunity to interact with the Chef and ask questions once you have created your dish.
Prepare your mis-en-place ahead of the session, grab your favorite drinks, and get ready to join a fun virtual cooking party! Ticket is on a per-person basis.Please note our class time is in the Eastern Time Zone!
Chef Scott began his culinary career 20 years ago in New York. Having a desire for living a life full of creativity and adventure, he combined his passions for entertaining and food with his love for bringing people together and creating unforgettable moments. Chef Scott has crafted his culinary skills working for some of the top chefs and restaurant groups in New York and Southern California. His eagerness to explore various flavors, the familiar and the unfamiliar, is what makes him a unique chef.
Although Scott started his career 20 years ago, he was always interested in food. Coming from Italian parents who love food and bring the family together over epic cuisines, it is not shocking he made the transition from musician to chef. After taking some time off from being a full time drummer and instructor, Scott decided to attend culinary classes along with apprenticing at his favorite local restaurant. The Chef & Owner was not only an inspiration but mentor in many ways leading him to his goals of cooking and making everyone around him happy through food. It wasn’t long after that the California dream was realized and San Diego was just beginning to find its culinary identity- the perfect template and climate to craft his new culinary ideas.
