Chef and tour guide Nancy Zaslavsky hasn't posted her 2010 Mexico culinary tours just yet, but you can still get the feel of Mexico by going with her on a COOK'S TOUR TO EAST L.A.'S MEXICAN MARKETS. Join Nancy for a personal tour of East L.A.'s Mexican markets and its most exciting Mexican food Meccas. Visit a top Panaderia (bakery) for bread and sweet pastries and learn all about their differences. Taste gorgeous tortillas still-warm and aromatic, then buy a dozen to take home. Purchase kilos of the city's best, still-sizzling carnitas. Explore a huge marketplace, crammed full of Latin American products including exotic tropical fruits, unusual grocery items, and more. A hosted lunch will wrap up a delectably fun day, ending with piping hot, fresh churros for dessert: the real deal.
Tours are offered on specified Saturdays 10AM to 3PM for groups of at least ten participants. You may put together your own group and choose your date, or join another tour. Please contact Nancy for more information.
