What You’ll Do

Hit all your taste buds with an evening of authentic tasty tamales

Chef Raquel is an activist and expert with a deep love for traditional dishes that have a contemporary spin. Join her in a three course tamale feast and learn the art of creating this Mesoamerican dish.

You will create three types of tamales; meat, vegetarian, and a dessert-style. First, Chef Raquel will teach you how to make either savory pork or turkey tamales, perfectly steamed in corn husks. Next up you will learn a vegetarian version of the tamale. Finally, you’ll end the night on a sweet note with a dessert tamale that will focus upon the freshest ingredients of the season.

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

How can I have lived in the U.S. for so long without knowing how to make tamales?! Chef Raquel gently taught me how to make these delicious Mexican treats and now I can’t wait to try out her tips at home. Great class for anyone wanting to learn more about one of the great cultures that influence our cooking today.

We had a fantastic time learning to make Tamales with Chef Raquel. She is an excellent teacher and answered every single question we came up with. On top of that, the Tamales were AWESOME!

I'm not a big tamales fan but Chef Raquel proved me wrong. I loved her Tamales. Great cooking class for anyone looking for simple but yet delicious dishes in Seattle.
