Hands On Tamales

I have always loved to eat tamales.  So when Great News Cooking School had a class on making them, I was ready to sign up.  I tried to get my fellow supper club peeps to join and was delighted when Kim decided to join me.  She also brought her mom along who was visiting.


We learned how to buy the ingredients as well as prepare the masa (corn filling).  The types of tamales we were to make included: traditional spicy shredded pork, salsa verde chicken, deviled crab, oaxaca cheese and sweet potato, and grilled pineapple and macadamia nut.


We all got to eat each one of the tamales and then make one of each kind to take home.

Here is Kim demonstrating how to assemble a tamale.  We learned to use certain tools to help the process along and of course had to buy a few items with our 10% discount.

Great News is also running a class promotion where if you purchase 10 classes you will get the 11th one free.


Next up for our supper club is the Farmer's Market class.
