About

In many households, tamale-making is a holiday group tradition. Tamales from scratch are fun to make together! Once you know the basics, there are endless possibilities for different fillings and flavors. Start a new tradition and have tamales for one of your holiday meals. 

Learn tips and tricks of a perfect masa dough (without lard) and some tasty traditional fillings with a plant-based spin. Select and prepare corn husks, discuss alternative wrappings, and practice by creating your own batch of  8-12 tamales to take home. We'll also discuss serving ideas, make a batch of plant-based crema, and pack it to go. 

You'll start with a tasting of dessert tamales and close it out by taking home a batch of savory plant-based tamales plus sauce to cook at home or freeze for later. 

Note: To fully enjoy the tamale-making experience, it's essential everyone has a way to steam tamales at home. A larger pot with a steamer basket or a "spaghetti pot" are both suitable.
