From the exquisite semitas and caldillo with shredded, salted, and dried beef that MCI director Alberto Fierro remembers from his grandmother, to a truly unique scallion and cheesy tomato stew, this class will shine a light on the richness and diversity of México’s north.

11 OCTOBER 2018 | 6:45 PM

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.
