In Mexico, we make tamales to celebrate special occasions. My family would always make dozens of tamales every Christmas.

Tamales are little parcels of corn dough filled with a delicious stew, either meat or vegetarian, wrapped in banana or corn husk leaves, and steamed to perfection. Once cooked, they are soft, flavourful, and the ultimate celebration food.

Come and join me for a hands-on tamal-making class and learn how to create these traditional Mexican treats from scratch.
