Join us for a delightful journey into the heart of indigenous Mexican culinary tradition with our hands-on workshop dedicated to making Alegrías, a beloved treat made with popped amaranth, honey, and seeds. Alegrías are a perfect blend of sweet and crunchy, offering a taste of rich cultural heritage in every bite.
This culinary workshop is guided by Chef Reb Mari, a Two-Spirit Tejana dedicated to ancestral healing through food. As the co-founder and CEO of Sana Roots Co., a nonprofit, she empowers youth and communities through education and mentorship centered on traditional foodways in San Antonio.
