COOKING DEMONSTRATION

Join us for an unforgettable culinary experience at Tacos and Tamales 2025! On Friday and Saturday, we’re bringing you a special Cooking Demo led by none other than Adriana, better known as Mama Cravings—the first-ever chef to demonstrate the art of tamale-making at our event!

Born and raised in Mexico, Adriana grew up immersed in the rich culinary traditions of her mother’s and grandmother’s kitchens. The aromas, the flavors, and the stories shared over simmering pots inspired her passion for cooking. After moving to the U.S. at the age of 14, she carried these treasured family recipes with her, perfecting them over the years. Now, she’s sharing one of these beloved dishes with you!

This is a hands-free experience—sit back, relax, and watch as Adriana brings her time-honored techniques to life. Enjoy the intoxicating scents of fresh masa, savory fillings, and perfectly wrapped tamales while learning the secrets behind this Mexican classic. And the best part? You’ll get to taste the results!
