This course runs on over four weekly sessions 6 - 9 pm with Silvia Gomez-Pineda. The course starts Monday 26 July 2021.

This unique cooking experience will lead you through an encounter with the flavours, aromas, spices and the culture of Silvia's beloved Mexico and its flavourful cuisine.

You will be cooking authentic handmade corn tortillas (gluten free), salsas, guacamole and main courses consisting of Carnitas (pulled pork), Barbacoa (lamb), Tostadas (chicken) and a selection of desserts. On the last night you will celebrate with a Mexican fiesta!
