Description

See an iconic Mexican dish in a completely new way after this multi-variety tamal making workshop. At the beautiful Condesa home of your knowledgeable chef/guide, you’ll learn about the dizzying diversity of the world of Mexican tamales before rolling up your sleeves and preparing two different versions of this iconic favourite from scratch. Just over an hour later, you’ll set the table with beautiful, locally-made dinnerware and enjoy a classic green tamal, with its tangy tomatillo-based filling, straight from the steamer, as well as a lesser-known fresh corn tamal, whose natural sweetness you’ll complement with a smoky chipotle salsa of your own making. Delicious! Dietary requirements will be accommodated, and Mexican beer, wine and soft drinks will keep you hydrated throughout the experience.

Important Information

• Wheelchair users have attended the class before, but the building in which it takes place does not have an elevator. Allergy sufferers should be aware that, although they’re kept out of the cooking area and I have allergy pills available for guests who need them, there are two cats in the house. Please keep an eye on your email inbox after booking the experience, as I'll be in touch to ask if you have any dietary requirements. Most of these can be accommodated for, although unfortunately strict Kosher is not possible at this time. Guests should be aware that others joining the class may pay less for the same experience by booking via the Martaja website.
