La Tortilleria Cooking Classes

Overview

Gerardo López of Kensington Mexican restaurant La Tortilleria is hosting online cooking classes to bring the art of Mexican cuisine into your home. For $80 you'll be sent a box of ingredients and a list of things you'll need to source yourself. You'll then be able to log on from 6pm on a Friday to join Lopez for a cooking masterclass.

Lopez is running the class the first three Fridays of October, and spots are limited. If you can't make it, Lopez expects there to be more classes in November so keep your eyes out and follow the chef on Instagram.

You'll start the night by creating margaritas, guided by special guest bartenders from Sonder. Once you have your drink in hand, you'll then make a traditional guacamole, your choice of fish or cauliflower ceviche and tinga tacos. Another bartender from On Top Bar will guide you through a second mezcal cocktail during the night to ensure you don't run dry, and the meal will be capped off by a dessert by Dulce Beso's Shai.

Non-drinkers can purchase a version of the ingredients without the goods needed for the cocktails for $60 and join the class with water or a non-alcoholic beer in hand.

All the profits from the cooking class are being donated to Friends for Good, a volunteer-driven not-for-profit that strives to help people connect with others and improve Australians wellbeing.
