Finally, on this Friday, Kathi and I met in Cancun after some initial difficulties and complications. We were picked up from the bus station by Alejandra, the chef and owner of México Lindo Cooking, for our cooking class. When we arrived at México Lindo Cooking, we were speechless: we found ourselves in a lovingly furnished cooking oasis in the middle of the forest.

Today's menu for Kathi and me included: quesadillas made with homemade corn tortillas filled with mushroom or potato chorizo, cactus (nopal) salad, carnitas (pork cooked in fat at low heat), bean paste, stuffed chili peppers, and sweet tamales.

After a delicious coffee for breakfast, we got to work...
We started with dessert, as the tamales take some time in the steamer. Tamales are basically a dough made from cornmeal, wrapped in corn or banana leaves and cooked. Savory tamales are filled with meat and salsa, while the sweet tamales we filled with pineapple and raisins.
