Tamales have a way of turning any ordinary day into a full-on celebration, and this hands-on virtual cooking class is your invitation to the party! If you've ever wondered how to make tamales from scratch -- the real way, the from-the-heart way -- you're in the right place.
Joining from the comfort of your own kitchen via Zoom, you'll learn everything that goes into a homemade tamale recipe: how to select and prepare fillings (vegetarian, chicken, or pork -- your call), how to make masa dough from scratch, and how to properly form and steam tamales until they're perfectly tender. Think of it as your own personal tamalada, which is the beloved Mexican tradition of gathering together to make tamales as a group. Spoiler: it always turns into a party!
This class is one of those rare things to do online that genuinely feels like a shared experience. Whether you're looking for fun virtual team building activities or simply want to finally nail that homemade tamale recipe you've been putting off, this class meets you exactly where you are. You'll leave with the skills, the know-how, and a dozen delicious tamales to eat or share. Your masa moment has arrived!

Class in the City is a one-of-a-kind culinary and wine experience built around the irresistible energy of Chef Joseph -- a man who turns every class into a full-on event. Whether you're joining in person or logging on from your kitchen, Class in the City is the kind of place that feels warm and welcoming the moment you walk through the door, because that's exactly how Joe designed it.
Chef Joe brings a truly eclectic mix of talents to the table. A graduate of Kendall College in Chicago and a Level 3 Sommelier with the International Sommelier Guild, he's as comfortable breaking down a great Burgundy as he is wowing students with inventive, show-stopping dishes. His passion for wine, cooking, and teaching is matched only by his flair for entertainment -- and he has the résumé to prove it. From his early days as a backup dancer and singer for Cyndi Lauper, to appearances on The Oprah Winfrey Show, The Rosie Show, and Spike TV's Frankenfood, Joe is a natural performer through and through.
A standup comic and actor, he brings that same energy, humor, and storytelling into every single class -- making sure it's not just educational, but genuinely memorable. Time flies, laughter fills the room, and somehow everyone leaves knowing a whole lot more than when they arrived!
