Discovery the vibrant crossroads where Jewish tradition meets Mexican soul! In this hands-on class, we'll explore how Jewish immigrants—many arriving in Mexico from Europe and the Middle East—wove their culinary heritage into the rich tapestry of Mexican cuisine. From Sephardic influences that found harmony in regional spices to Askenazi comfort foods reimagines with local ingredients, this fusion tells a story of adaptation, community, and shared celebration.
