Masa: A Culinary Exploration with Daniel Kedan

May 3 @ 10:00 am - 2:00 pm

Unlock the secrets to one of the world’s greatest culinary treasures…MASA.
Masa is grain corn steeped in an alkaline water and then ground into a versatile dough. While largely attributed to Mexican cuisine, it is a staple ingredient in numerous cultures going back centuries and is woven into the tapestry of many modern day menus.
In this fully hands on class Chef Daniel Kedan will discuss the rich history of Masa and demonstrate some of the many different uses of Masa dough.

Students will have the opportunity for a comparative tasting of traditional masa to the incredible locally grown heirloom corn masa from Tierra Vegetables.   In class we will cover a variety of recipes including tortillas, tamales, sopes and pupusas, We will create seasonally inspired fillings for each recipe.  We hope you’ll join us for this exciting new class offering.
