Highlights
  • Av Nuevo León 4 - See an iconic Mexican dish in a completely new way after this multi-variety tamal-making workshop.

At the beautiful La Condesa home of your knowledgeable guide, you’ll learn about the dizzying diversity of the world of Mexican tamales before rolling up your sleeves and preparing two different versions of this iconic favorite from scratch.

Just over an hour later, you’ll set the table with beautiful, locally-made dinnerware and enjoy a classic green tamal with its tangy tomatillo-based filling, straight from the steamer, as well as a lesser-known fresh corn tamal, whose natural sweetness you’ll complement with a smoky chipotle salsa of your own making. Delicious!

Dietary requirements will be accommodated, and Mexican beer and soft drinks will keep you hydrated throughout the experience.

Best experience - This is an absolutely fabulous class. Cone for Jim's masterful instruction, stay for his vast knowledge spanning culinary history to Egyptian politics and the Arabic language. If you miss this, you're not doing it right!

Highly Recommend! - This was such a wonderful way to spend an evening in Mexico City! We highly recommend to do this with friends or family as it is such a fun time and informative as well. We were warmly welcomed into our host’s home and had an amazing time. One of the best nights in the city for sure.
