Corn Tortilla Workshop: A Journey Through Time & Taste

May 22 @ 5:30 pm - 8:00 pm

$75

Join us as we peel back the layers of time to discover the fascinating legacy of maize, a grain that has nourished civilizations for millennia. From its humble beginnings in the heartlands of Mesoamerica to its global prominence today, maize has woven itself into the fabric of human existence, leaving an indelible mark on cultures and cuisines around the world.

But what sets maize apart from other grains? Prepare to uncover the answers as we delve into the transformative process of “nixtamalization,” a traditional technique that has been passed down through generations.

Through a blend of ancient wisdom and modern science, we will explore how nixtamalization unleashes the full potential of maize, enhancing its nutritional value and imparting a depth of flavor that is simply unparalleled.

But our journey doesn’t end there. We will roll up our sleeves and get hands-on with the art of tortilla preparation. Guided by seasoned experts, you’ll learn the ins and outs of crafting the perfect tortilla, from grinding the maize to shaping and cooking each one to perfection.

So, whether you’re a seasoned baker or a curious culinary enthusiast, we invite you to join us for an unforgettable experience that will engage all your senses and leave you craving more.

Spaces are limited, so be sure to secure your spot today. Come hungry, come curious, and come ready to discover the rich and flavorful world of maize like never before.
