  The kitchen last Saturday got muy caliente when class and I cooked up a vegan Latina feast. Yes folks, it was a feast with a capital F, because as usual, there was too much good food.
  Before I tease you with food photos, let me show you the goings on in Kitchen Revolution HQ during class:
  Explaining the spices used in Oaxacan-style mole.
  Preparing the spice mixture – toasting up some seeds, nuts, and chips. Tip: a cast-iron skillet makes food look and taste better. This was an experiment we did in class, as compared to a regular non-stick skillet. Go buy yourself a cast-iron skillet and take good care of it!
  Dark chocolate figured in two of the recipes covered in class: the mole and the chocolate for the churros.
  Churros-a-making. Whole wheat, thank you very much. Hand-rolled for that rustic feel. You don't need a piping bag and pastry tips to make churros.
  Heating up the hot chocolate for the churros. Yes, made with soy milk. Yes, it was a hit.
  And now, the spread:
  Oyster mushroom ceviche – easy and flavorful.
  Burrito fillings – black beans with sofrito, killer guacamole, and pico de gallo. Brown rice in the back. Benta!
  Chocolate-chile smothered tofu. Sounds like a strange combination but it worked!
  Lime-roasted vegetables: squash, zucchini, orange sweet potatoes, and saba banana. Good stuff.
  Our whole wheat churros! Not pictured: hot dark chocolate.
  And, the team:
  Loads of fun were had in class.
