Master the techniques to make pillowy soft tamales from a world-class chef.

Learn the history and time-honored methods behind the tamale in this hands-on cooking class with Chef Karen. See and taste for yourself the versatility of masa as you craft savory and sweet tamales.

Begin by making the classic combo of tortilla chips and fresh guacamole studded with jalapeños and cilantro. Next, break into small groups to hand-mix masa dough and press it into corn husks for chicken tamales served alongside homemade Mexican rice. For dessert, a rich chocolate-filled tamale will wrap up class on a sweet note.

Guests are welcome to provide wine and beer to enjoy during the class.
