Here, we go beyond tacos to explore some lesser known Mexican staples. You will learn how to create authentic, plant based dishes which celebrate the variety and intense flavours of Mexican cuisine.
We begin with a hands on demonstration of making Escabeche (pickled vegetables). You can join in, taste, and takeaway your own jar of this zesty and crunchy side dish.
Next we will show you how to make corn (and wheat) tortillas from their raw ingredients. You will be able to taste and compare them with a roast tomato salsa. You will go on to make your own Mole de Calabaza (moh-lay day cal-a-bath-a). In Mexican cuisine a mole is a sauce, in this case of tomato, onion, ancho chillies, pumpkin seeds, basil and coriander. The Calabaza is a roast pumpkin. We will sample the results on completion, and you will have enough to take home to enjoy later.

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.
Ingredients, an apron and copies of recipes are all provided.
You need to bring a small jar and a large 2-300ml sealable container to take away your Calabaza
