SUSTAINABLE & CONSCIOUS COOKING
RESPECT FOR THE INGREDIENTS
I use mostly seasonal ingredients and reduce waste by using as much of the ingredients as possible.
As I feed those who can afford to, I feel it's also my responsibility to also feed those who cannot. That’s why 5% of my profits go to organizations that help feed those in need in New York City and around the United States.
I take your allergies seriously, and always work around them to give you the best allergy-free experience.
I create a menu based on your food preferences, totally personalized.
I honor the effort & hard work put in by farmers who grow the produce we use. That’s why I respect them by making them shine and using them to their full capabilities.

Cochinita Artichoke Tacos with Refried Beans and Avocado X-Nipek
Learn how to make these Mexican cochinita tacos from scratch! Cochinita tacos originate from the south of Mexico in the state of Yucatan.

In this class, we’re recreating that classic sauce and making a delicious plant-based version using artichoke hearts.

Enchiladas are corn tortillas that have been filled and rolled and served with chili sauce on top.

In this class, we’re making vegan enchiladas with a delicious filling of pan-fried squash and greens.
Tamales with Hongos and Salsa Verde
Tamales are one of Mexico’s most famous dishes! They’re made with corn masa (maize dough) stuffed with either savory or sweet stuffing and steamed inside corn husks or banana leaves. They’re eaten for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and are almost always served at any festivities. The variety of tamales is vast-there are all kinds of different fillings in different states of Mexico ranging from beans and greens to cheese, meat, and/or dried fruit.
The origins of tamales are prehispanic. Originally, the corn dough was made with stone-ground corn and whipped by hand. There’s an old saying in Mexico, “you have to have a good hand for tamales“. Thankfully, nowadays we have electric mixers and other tools we can use to make the process faster and easier. After this class, you’ll know how to make tamales from scratch—something a lot of people (even in Mexico!) don’t know how to do.
