Viva Vegetarian Mexican

This is a live, interactive, hands-on cooking class held online via Zoom. See our event policies at the bottom of this webpage.

Eating meatless Mexican food at home is within reach and delicious! We will make fideo—a beloved toasted noodle in tomato broth; it is just the thing to warm up February evenings. In this class, you will learn tips for making a weeknight ready version of the Mexican caldo with a simple hack. We will also make chimichangas stuffed with chile-laced cauliflower and sikil pak, a pumpkin seed dip with a kick that's a tasty alternative to hummus or guacamole.

With a master’s in intercultural studies and a Mexican-Bolivian-Dutch heritage, she’s keen on finding the points of intersection around the table. Her food writing has recently appeared in Edible East Bay, The Kitchn, and San Francisco Classical Voice. Her online cooking journal, EatMoreMeatless.net explores creative and doable ways for all trying to eat more vegetables. Find her online at Instagram @anneliesz.
