Share The Brighton & Hove Food Partnership's Community Kitchen is a cookery school where everyone can cook, learn new skills and enjoy food with others. We want everyone to experience the benefits of cooking and eating together. By paying for a cookery class, you help other people to attend cookery activities, regardless of finance, confidence or ability, and to make lasting changes to their lives.
Description
Discover the secret behind classic dishes on this fabulous trip down Mexico way with Xavier Buendia (best known for his food photography with top restaurants in Brighton and further afield). His childhood memories are the inspiration for this Masterclass dedicated to home-style Mexican food. Rest assured that former chef Xav has designed his recipes using readily-available ingredients so you can recreate all the dishes you learn to master at home.
Your Mexican feast for the evening will typically include:
- Mole sauce, a traditional dish known for its complex flavours, served with chicken or veg alternative*
- Arroz rojo (Mexican red rice)
- Ensalada Cesar – the famous Caesar salad originated in Tijuana, Mexico – find out more and try the original recipe
- Xav’s special guacamole (made with a surprise ingredient instead of the usual avocadoes)

About Xav
Xav's background is a beautiful mix of Mexican and Catalan, his parents and grandparents introduced him to all sorts of wonderful food from an early age and later he learned the importance of food and its heavy influence in both cultures. This led to a career on the catering industry graduating from culinary school, working as a chef for a while and then becoming a sommelier. He worked in fine dining venues for over 10 years in Europe and America until he decided to move on and commit to his photography. His speciality is food photography for the food and drinks industry and portraiture for lifestyle and fashion brands and editorials.
