This celebrates the spirit of Mexican Cooking taking from its diverse culinary landscape, with the cuisine of the Spanish conquerors overlaid onto the ancient traditional methods of the Mayan people.

We rustle up Mexican Tacos made with a hot smoky chipotle sauce – a doddle to make, and cook it alongside some fish, skirt steak or mushroom fillings. But its the sauces we finish off with that really do it. These are home-made guacamole, a buttermilk and sour cream sauce and a lime chilli mayonnaise, all of which Emily demonstrates for you to try out and taste to top off your tacos before you go home. 

This afternoon event is part of our new series of Fast Cooking Courses. 

Dishes we will make:

Mexican tacos with a hot smoky chipotle sauce –  fish, skirt steak or mushroom fillings (V)

Guacamole / buttermilk and sour cream sauce / lime and chilli mayonnaise (V) (demonstrated and used to top off your tacos)

About Emily

Emily Carey has been teaching people to cook classic and original dishes for over 8 years, driven by her passion to make home cooking more widely accessible.

Her childhood, in a home where good food, especially Mediterranean food was enjoyed, started her off on a journey of discovery and exploration. She developed an eye for good recipes and learning what foods work well together, adding to this a flair for bringing food and people together, and that became the basis for Get Cooking.

With a simple start in 2010, and the opening of an exciting and unique venue in Farsley in 2016, she has continually incorporated fresh ideas into the business.
