A Tamalada is a traditional event that brings together family, neighbors, and friends. The social gathering, usually held the weeks preceding the holidays, ferments conversations, bonding, and occasionally, friendly gossip.
We are hosting Redwood City's first annual Holiday Tamalada.
This is a hands-on tamale making and tasting workshop.
We start with an Introduction to tamales, overview, history, variations, and steaming methods.
Participants will learn the authentic methods for making the tamale masa and different fillings. They will learn different techniques of rolling and folding the tamales. We will also demonstrate the steaming process with a variety of cookware.
We will also offer vegan alternatives.
Participants will leave with a dozen of their creations to cook at home and a recipe guide.
The date is December 10th. There will be a morning session from 10:00 to 12:00 noon and an afternoon session from 2:00 to 4:00.
The event will be at:
Highlands Community Club
1665 Fernside St.
Redwood City, CA 94061
