From the sun-baked plazas of Mexico to the minimalist kitchens of Japan, corn is the golden thread that connects kitchens across the globe. We invite you to step into our kitchen for a warm, immersive celebration of this humble grain. This isn’t just a cooking class; it’s an exploration of how one ingredient can be sweet, smoky, crunchy, and comforting all at once.
Together, we’ll craft a vibrant feast that honors the many faces of corn. We’ll begin with the soul-warming crunch of Corn, Avocado, and Chicken Chilaquiles and learn the secret to a perfectly moist Sweet Corn and Basil Cornbread. Discover a smoky twist on a classic with Smoked Paprika Corn and Tomato Bruschetta, and roll up your sleeves to prepare Masa-Stuffed Fresh Chilies—a dish that highlights the traditional heart of corn. We’ll travel East to master a delicate Sushi Rice and Corn Salad, seasoned with the deep, umami notes of kombo and soy. Experience the creamy, charred delight of Grilled Corn Elote Soup, topped with fresh cilantro and salty cotija cheese, and finish with a bright, Vegan Corn Salsa served alongside golden, house-fried tortillas.
Hands-On Class - you’ll participate in the preparation of the meal alongside the chef.
