Instructors: Kim + Tim Rumberger
Wednesday, August 20
10am - 1pm
1 session
Learn to make an authentic Mexican "street food" style meal from scratch. Kim & Tim Rumberger will transport you to a Central American kitchen with detailed recipes, instructions, and translations. Mix a fresh Sangria and sip it while you are walked through the creation of fresh chicken chili Verde served on delicious hand-made masa tortillas, with all the toppings. And believe it or not, the best refried beans are NOT straight from a can. Guests can take notes on recipe handouts and may be invited to participate in hands-on activities when possible. Be prepared to be led in pronunciation drills and maybe even break out in Mexican song! The meal will be enjoyed by all at the end of the class.
Kim and Tim Rumberger have been cooking together for nearly 4 decades, entertaining family and friends with dishes from around the world. Cooking and sharing has been a driving force in their social, professional and family lives, and their reputation for creating fabulous food and drink has followed them throughout the years
across several states and continents.
