About

Have you ever wanted to make your tamales from scratch? Tamales are fun to make together, and once you know the basics, there are endless possibilities for different fillings and flavors.

Learn the tips and tricks of a perfect masa dough (without lard) and some tasty traditional fillings with a plant-based spin. You'll select and prepare corn husks, discuss alternative wrappings, and practice by creating your own batch of tamales to take home. You'll also make a wonderful sauce to go with the tamales and pack it to go. There will be some tamale sampling going on, as well. 

Note: Everyone will need a way to steam tamales at home. Both a larger pot with a steamer basket or a “spaghetti pot” work well.
