An evening of Mexican cooking and Spanish conversation

As part of a food & language series, we take Work-Shop to a very unique venue in Erskineville, The Old Church Hall, the home of educators and social entrepreneurs The Barnums. Born & raised in Mexico City, Lissa Barnum will take you on a journey of Mexico through its language and food!

• Preparation of two main recipes, names of ingredients, derivations their source/history.
• Conversational Spanish, naming of implements, preparation and activity, short stories and anecdotes about regions.
• Glossary of terms provided and recipes to be taken home by each participant.
• Chopping mashing, mixing and tasting all par for the course – hot or not hot – up to each cook and palette.
• Stories, music and traditional dress to be worn – recommended students dress up in at least one Mexican-ish item – to play an authentic part in the Mexican kitchen experience.
• No major cooking experience required – some love of Spanish (the language) essential
