First, you'll learn the recipe for making the dough using fresh masa. Practice knife skills to chop chicken and vegetables and cook them in broth to make both vegetable and chicken fillings. Learn the proper technique to steam cook the tamales until tender. Whip up a fresh salsa with green chiles, tomato, lime and cilantro to serve with your dish and enjoy your handmade feast.

We had a great time, Chef Ben was very knowledgeable and charismatic! He came prepared and was able to accommodate extra guests to the class with ease. He promised us the recipe but we have not yet received it, we hope to get that soon so we can try making the gnocchi at home.

Chef Ben was fantastic. The classpop logistics were not so great. I wish I could review them separately! First, parking was extremely confusing, and classpop gave zero instructions for navigating a complicated university campus with multiple parking structures and no posted parking rules. Second, while we were able to make the gnocchi, the sauce itself was prepared for us. That was a bit of a letdown. The sauce also included onions, which were not advertised on the site, and to which my partner is allergic.
