Virtual Class: Holiday Workshop Tamales 12/8/26
Around Christmastime, Mexican families and friends gather to make tamales together, a tradition with a long and rich history. In this class, you’ll dig into that history while making a batch of your own alongside Chef Christin. What you’ll learn: Pick your filling. Explore the many ways to stuff a tamal! Wrangle the husks. Chef Christin will show you how to properly prep corn husks for wrapping. Master the masa. Here’s the tricky part. You’ll mix masa harina, lard, and broth into a dough sturdy enough to hold together yet light and tender enough to melt in your mouth. Having a chef guide you through this process is priceless. Assemble like a pro. Learn how to shape uniform, perfectly sized tamales, set up your steaming pot, and tell exactly when they’re done. You’ll leave with a batch of gorgeous tamales and the confidence to host your own tamalada for years to come. Spots are limited – one sign-up covers one device. Know someone who’d love this?
