Tamales are eaten everyday in every corner of Mexico, but never are they more expected and lavished than at the end of the year. Join us for a true tamaliza, with tamales we have never made for you and we bet you have never tasted before. Some made with corn masa, rice flour masa and even no masa! Finish with a ponche, Mexico’s traditional spiked fruit cider.

Although Mexico’s northern states are closer to the US, ironically not many people are familiar with the gastronomy from Mexico’s North. In this session, you will take a deep dive into one of Mexico’s biggest northern states, one which boasts its unique cuisine and dearly beloved dishes: Chihuahua! From a Sopa de Ajo, to a true Mexican burrito de Chile Colorado, to the very famous Discada, and a sweet taste of their signature crisp apple buñuelos.
