In this class, participants will learn the fundamental skills of making sweet-flavored tamales from scratch, starting with dry maize and transforming it into warm, delicous tamales wrapped in corn husks.

This hands-on experience will guide you through the various stages of preparation, including how to nixtamalize dry maiz, grind it, and create a sweet vegan chocolate masa.

Participants will enjoy tasting the fluffy, cake-like tamales, and may even take some home–if they don’t eat them all in class!

Special Guest: Marlene Aguilar, founder of the food project, IREKUARHIKUA.
