🌽✨ Lets take the mystery out of tamale making🌟
Get ready to unwrap flavor, tradition, and a whole lot of fun! šŸŽ‰ Tamales aren’t just food—they’re a celebration wrapped in corn husks, steamed to perfection, and bursting with joy in every bite. And now, you can learn to make these Mexican treasures right here in Knoxville!
For centuries, tamales have brought people together at holidays, festivals, and family gatherings. In this lively and hands-on cooking class, you’ll roll up your sleeves with Chef John Alunni and discover how to craft tamales that are every bit as festive as they are flavorful. šŸŒ®šŸ’ƒ
šŸ‘Øā€šŸ³ In this festive culinary adventure, you’ll:
āœ… Mix up the perfect fluffy masa (tamale dough).
āœ… Fire things up with a bold, scratch-made hot pepper sauce. šŸŒ¶ļø
āœ… Create savory fillings like melt-in-your-mouth slow-roasted pork.
āœ… Go tropical with pineapple-coconut tamales drizzled in a rum glaze. šŸšŸ„„
āœ… Learn the art of rolling, steaming, and of course—digging in!
šŸ¹ And what’s a fiesta without margaritas? Our refreshing margarita specials (available for purchase) will keep the good vibes flowing while you cook, laugh, and savor the moment.
✨ Menu Highlights:
🌮 Slow Roasted Mexican Pulled Pork Tamales
šŸŒ¶ļø Scratch-Made Hot Pepper Sauce
šŸ Pineapple Coconut Tamales with Rum Glaze
šŸø Drink Specials:
šŸ¹ A colorful lineup of refreshing Margaritas
šŸŽŠ This isn’t just a cooking class—it’s a party wrapped in flavor, tradition, and a touch of tropical flair. Come hungry, leave happy, and take home skills (and recipes!) that will make you the star of every celebration.
Reserve your spot today and let’s fiesta, Knoxville-style! šŸŒ½šŸ‘©ā€šŸ³šŸŽ‰
