Check-in time. Susan from Warwicks made sure everyone was signed in and ready to go.
Learn from Chef Isabel in the kitchen, eat the "assignment", and then take it all home in the form of a book. Wow, that's amazing!
One of Isabel's students, prepping for her lesson.
Time to get started. Everyone please listen attentively. (What a good turnout!)
Chips and salsa were served to get things started, but they didn't last that long.
Table prepped and ready to go with some fine ingredients to prepare a lovely summer "Squirtzer".
Pour.
Squeeze.
Cheers!
Time for some of us to go back in the kitchen with Isabel and team.
Some sangria to compliment the sopes and tamales.
Let's learn how to make sopes!
Roll.
Rollin.
Don't wipe your fingers on your shirt!
Flatten, but not too flat!
More hands on participation.
Omar teaching his students well.
Sopes with carnitas, ready to be served. (I could eat ALL of those.)
I can eat all of those as well. The sopes are THAT good! (Hi Kelly!)
Ready to eat.
Eaten.
Tamale time. Chicken, corn, or CHOCOLATE?
Learning from the best.
Taking pictures of people taking pictures is one of my favorites!
Alright, enough learning. Time to start "doing".
Chef Isabel, making sure her students are applying what they've been taught.
Chocolate time.
You are now about to witness the side effects of good food, good drinks, and good people. Nothing but big SMILES and SILLYness!
Say "Cheese!"
"All done! Are the chocolate tamales ready yet?"
Some who attended brought their mom to the event as a Mother's Day gift. Happy Mother's Day!
Coming to a close, many lined up to have their cook books signed by the Chef.
Cooking is fun, eating is funner. Cleaning, what's that? One of the perks of cooking in Isabel's kitchen is being able to cook, eat and go home. A big thanks goes out to the Cantina crew for all their hard work!
