The photos in this blog are from a class that focused on corn, and the importance of corn in the Mexican diet. Paola showed students how many different items could be made from the same basic corn-based dough...and it was delicious!

Fried taquitos were made with a green tomatillo salsa and fresh cheese.

The making of the green salsa.

Look at this spread of fresh and delicious local ingredients!

Not only do you learn a great deal of information on cooking, but you learn techniques and recipes, and best of all...you get to eat what you prepare!

Buen provecho!
