From the hand of Doña Andrea, you will learn to cook one of the most emblematic dishes of Oaxaca ; the Oaxacan tamales.
From grinding corn to the perfect wrapping on your corn or banana leaf, step by step. This workshop is fully interactive. Doña Andrea will share with us her gastronomic knowledge sharing her recipe that is 100% artisanal in order that you can replicate your own Oaxacan tamales at home.
This is the only workshop where you will not only learn how to make tamales but also learn different recipes to make four different types of tamales: mole tamale; one of the most traditional tamales, salsa verde tamale, bean tamale and chepil tamale.
In the end you will enjoy the flavors you prepared, accompanied by a traditional drink. More than a workshop, it is an immersion in the tradition, history and taste of Oaxaca.
What's Included
Meeting and pickup
We will meet at the side of the Temple of Carmen Alto. A girl in a T-shirt with the "Only in Oaxaca" print will be waiting for you.
What to expect
What we will live in this workshop:
1. Visit to a traditional mill: We’ll start with a visit to a local mill, where you’ll learn about the process of corn milling in Mexico and prepare the fresh dough we’ll use to make the tamales.
2. Preparation of tamales: You will know the technique to work the dough and be able to obtain the perfect consistency. You will learn how to make four varieties of tamales made with fresh, local ingredients that reflect the culinary diversity of Oaxaca.
3. Playtime and tradition: While the tamales are cooking, you will enjoy a very Mexican moment playing one of our classic and more traditional board games. A perfect opportunity to enjoy, laugh and share with other participants.
4. Tasting tamales: To close with a golden clasp, you will taste the four types of tamales you prepared, accompanied by a traditional homemade drink made by Doña Andrea, who will be your teacher and guide throughout the experience.
