What You’ll Experience

In this hands-on cooking class, you’ll learn the basic techniques that Mexicans grow up mastering at home: How to make a basic green salsa, how to use fresh and dried chiles, how to handle corn masa and shape it with your hands, and how to cook nopales, among others. This is not just about teaching you recipes, it is about empowering you to feel confident about sharing the flavors of a world-honored culinary tradition, while having fun in a relaxed environment. Step inside a professional working kitchen in the heart of the Roma neighborhood. Chef Julieta owns a pastry business that currently supplies restaurants and coffee shops. In the same kitchen, she also teaches Mexican food classes to promote our cuisine and culture through an experience of flavors and ingredients.
