If you like your food full of flavour and with a little kick, then an evening of Mexican cooking will be a real treat. Mexican food is full of diverse ingredients and influences. We’ll be making some traditional Mexican dishes using some essential ingredients of the country. This includes corn, beans, chillies, coriander, oregano and cumin.
 
You will be making:
  • Fresh Corn Tortillas from scratch – naturally gluten free pale yellow in colour and entirely adaptable for zingy flavours. These quick and easy tortillas will transform your tacos!
  • Pulled Smokey Mushrooms – move over pork, ‘meaty mushrooms’ have stepped up and will pep up your tacos with sticky sweet and smoky flavours
  • Pico de Gallo – a traditional tomato salsa available in all taco trucks, and Sam will demonstrate a Sweetcorn and Pineapple version – fruity and piquant.
  • Refried Beans – Sam will demonstrate how to make this slow cooked pinto or black beans dish which will simmer with gentle warming spices as you cook. We will serve this to taste with sour cream and salsa.
This is a hands-on cooking class. All food made can be taken away and enjoyed at home.
 
This workshop will be led by Samantha Kirk, our Community Chef.
 
Sam has years of experience as a private chef. She brings a wealth of culinary skills and knowledge of both local and world cuisine to The Lang Spoon Community Kitchen.
 
Some cooking skills are required to enjoy this workshop i.e. basic knife skills. Please bring some containers to take home your food.
 
If you have any dietary requirements or allergies, or you would like to talk about any if the ingredients we will be using in the workshop, please let us know when you are booking. All dishes made can be taken away and enjoyed at home.
