Flavors of Mexico: Cal-Mex Vegetarian - In Person

A hands-on in-person cooking class culminating in a dinner served with wine and beer. This class is limited to 14 students. See our registration policies here and our rules for in-person events here.

Let's raid the farmer's market celebrating the bounty of fresh produce! This is a Cal-Mex cooking class that makes the most of the bounty of Bay Area grown veggies as part of our Eat More Meatless series from our Latin-American cooking instructor, Annelies. You'll learn how to make Three Sisters Taquitos that will quickly become a go-to fast plant-based weeknight staple. The taquitos will be garnished with a Smoky Chile Salsa with Blistered Tomatoes. On the side will be spicy, sweet, and sour beets. Then, you'll make Avocado Griddled Panela Salad featuring in season fruits with a zippy chile vinaigrette, to be washed down with Pistachio Agua Fresca. Meat eaters interested in ideas for eating more veggies, vegetarians, and vegans . . .all are welcome!
