Hands On: Mexican Street Foods
"These anonymous street vendors, not famous gourmet chefs, were the true authors of the national cuisine, demonstrating that at least in Mexico, the hungrier the cook, the tastier the food." -Que Vivan Los Tamales
Most of the foods we think of as Mexican are antojitos, those simple, yet fabulous, masa, or corn dough, based little dishes that can be found in the many street stalls of Mexico. In this class, you will gain hands on experience making these snack-sized favorites. Once you learn how easy it is, you'll never settle for store-bought tortillas and salsa again.
Nick Zukin publishes the online Portland food guide Extramsg.com and manages the online community PortlandFood.org. He regularly makes culinary tours of Mexico and explores the domestic Mexican food scene, recreating in his kitchen what he's discovered. He has also taught an online course in salsa-making for the popular website eGullet.org.
Nick has generously agreed to donate his class fee to the Oregon Food Bank.
