Join me as we experiment in the Kitchen and explore THE WORLD OF TACOS. During these sessions you will get to create some delicious Taco inspired dishes. We will also discuss the class rules, kitchen safety guideline, meal prep tasks, as well as the background behind the history of each meal and the technique(s) that will be used during the prep and cooking process. We will follow the prep and cooking times detailed in the recipes that will be sent out prior to the beginning of the class, however be prepared for some adjustments with ingredients and cooking times. We usually start with the dish that requires the most prep or cooking time. As we follow along with prepping and cooking, alternative ingredients, will also be discussed and sometimes added, depending on the individual student's preference. Due to these possible adjustments or additional ingredients, it is highly suggested that the changes be written down on the recipes that are sent out. At the end of each session, students will improve their cooking skills, gain more knowledge, and become more confidence in cooking these meals for many years to come.
