About this experience
Few foods bring people together quite like tamales. Steeped in tradition, filled with bold flavor, and made completely by hand, tamales are more than a meal — they’re an experience.
Welcome to The Tamale Experience: Mastering Traditional Tamales at Sweet & Savory Classroom.
In this hands-on class, we’ll guide you step by step through the art of traditional tamale making, from preparing fresh masa to assembling and steaming authentic Pork Tamales from scratch. Along the way, you’ll learn the techniques, timing, and flavors that make this beloved dish such an important part of Mexican cooking culture.
We’ll begin the evening with a vibrant Avocado, Orange, and Tomato Salsa before diving into homemade masa and savory Pork Tamales. On the side, you’ll enjoy Grilled Corn with Lime & Cotija, and we’ll finish the night with buttery Mexican Wedding Cookies.
