About this course

Have you ever wanted to explore to world of Mexican cookery but don’t know where to begin? Then this is the course for you. During five hands-on sessions you’ll learn about the building blocks of Mexican inspired food from spice blends to sauces and breads. Don’t worry about the heat, you will find out how to adjust the spice levels to suit your own taste and focus on the development of simple ingredients into restaurant worthy meals.  


Before you know it you’ll have created beautiful burritos, enticing enchiladas and super salsas, with lots of ideas for different combinations. Where possible we will use ingredients from regular supermarkets and local shops so your meals will be budget friendly too. 


All demonstrated dishes will be plant based, however there will be the option for you to add meat to many of the things you make, if you’d like to


Learners will be able to: 

  • Make a range of sauces and dips 
  • Make a chilli, using what’s on hand and varying the spice level to suit 
  • Make cornbread using a range of extra ingredients for variety 
  • Make their own chilli powder to suit heat preferences 
  • Assemble ingredients in a variety of ways to make use of basic dishes
