(Written by Neens: Customer/Blogger/Photographer) There’s really not much to say about the event tonight, simply because it was AMAZING! Isabel and Warwick’s teamed up to host a cooking class and book signing at Cantina. The event sold out (and even overflowed for a second event June 1st), so I knew it was going to be a good one. As soon as the 50 or so eager culinary students signed in, the fun began! I’ll let the photos tell the story, but just to be informative for those that missed out, here’s a short summary of what took place….

You get to learn how to make a variety of tamales including CHOCOLATE tamales, as well as sopes (super tasty!), a refreshing citrus-ey beverage in time for summer, and balsamic dressing. Isabel and her crew don’t just teach you, but you get to go back in the kitchen and try it out for yourself! To top it all off, you also get to eat everything you just learned how to make. Need I say more?

The experience to me felt like Isabel invited 50 of her friends and family over to her house to learn how to make good food. That’s how the vibe was…more like family. It was amazing. So if you’re interested in signing up, don’t hesitate to call Warwick’s La Jolla (858) 454-0347.

Hello all! This is Neens reporting for Isabel’s Cantina. We wanted to bring you into the kitchen so you can see how Isabel’s famous tamales are made. After skimming through these photos, we know you’ll be hungry, so don’t hesitate to ride your beach cruiser down to Cantina for some “delish” tamales. If you want to go even deeper and learn how to make the tamales, Warwick’s La Jolla and Isabel’s Cantina are having an event on Wednesday May 20th, where Isabel herself will teach you how to wrap, roll, and steam up some “down south” flavor. (Helpful Hint: If you failed to remember Mother’s Day last Sunday, this would be the perfect event to make it up. Mom only deserves the very best and most tasty!)
