Our Traditional Cooking Classes:
FULL - Enchiladas and More! with Chef Amy
If you enjoy classic Enchiladas Suizas as much as Chef Amy, this is the class for you. You'll learn to make this rich, creamy dish hailing from Mexico City. In addition, you'll learn to make Mexican frijoles (beans) two ways: we'll start with the traditional Frijoles de Olla, which are flavorful, brothy beans. Then, we'll use those and transform them into classic Frijoles Refritos, or refried beans. You won't believe the homemade difference! The enchiladas will also be served with a simple, crunchy Oregano-Lime Cabbage Slaw.

FULL - Learn To Make Homemade Pasta! with Chef Amy
If you've been wanting to try your hand at Homemade Pasta, this is a great place to start! Chef Amy will guide you through the process of making pasta dough, both by hand and using a food processor. Then, we'll use the doughs to create a basic machine-cut Fettucini, a hand-cut Pappardelle, plus Ravioli with Lemon Ricotta Filling. Meanwhile, we'll put together three sauces: a delicious simple Pomodoro Tomato Sauce that can be transformed into a rich Vodka Sauce; a Winter Greens Pesto; and a tasty Alfredo Sauce. Buon appetito!
If the class you want is full, please click anyway and get on the waiting list. We often have cancellations.
I won't be adding any more dates in the month of April, but I will teach this popular class again on future schedules, so if you don't get into these dates, there will be more in the future!
