Mexican food is far more than tacos and tortillas—it’s a diverse cuisine built on rich history and layered flavours. This course walks you through its evolution from the ancient to the modern plate. With each module, you’ll dive into breakfast classics, street food favourites, and hearty main dishes, served with a side of cultural insight.
From understanding the roots of Mexican cuisine to exploring its vibrant main courses in two parts, you'll explore traditional preparation techniques and regional flair.
