About this course

This course is a beginner's guide to Mexican dishes made with fresh ingredients. During the course we will be focusing on using a range of culinary techniques and skills to enjoy with friends and family including some of the following, diverse methods in food preparation, cooking methods, knife skills and flavor combinations to produce chicken fajitas, salsa and guacamole, enchiladas, tacos and Mexican rice.

You will then select some of these techniques to develop your own skills and knowledge.

No experience of cooking is required. You will learn about how you can use these techniques creatively through looking at and discussing cooks and chefs who influence and motivate.

By the end of the course everyone will have explored and gained confidence in a range of creative techniques, produce some edible dishes and gain skills and knowledge to progress onto further learning through progression courses or consider career opportunities, for future cookery work.
