CLASS DETAIL:
Experience Mexican cooking as you never have before. This course takes you through a dozen regional preparations like Wild Mushrooms Cooked in Pasilla Chiles and Chicken, Garbanzo, Chipotle and Avocado Caldo. We’ll cover some of the quintessential snack foods like pozole, enchiladas, and guacamole crushed in the mortar by hand. We’ll learn tortilla-making using masa. The third class takes a detour to cook contemporary Southwestern cuisine, incorporating its Mexican and other Native American influences. In the fourth class we’ll create a traditional afternoon meal including a bean course, a rice course, and Enchiladas in Red Mole. A four hour seminar will focus on mole dishes, perhaps the most complexly flavored and structured sauces in all the world. We’ll conclude the course with a trip to a Mexican market followed by preparing a five course dinner party at the school.
