Mexican cuisine is one of the 5 truly distinctive world cuisines. Corn has always been central to the cuisine with the tortilla as its centre piece – the bread, plate and spoon, all wrapped into one.

At Wickedfood Earth Farm we are fascinated by all ingredients Mexican and have been growing, using and processing the unique fruits and vegetables for over ten years.

The assembly of a tacos, a filled tortilla, has become an art-form in itself, just like sushi. Its a delicate balance of cooked and fresh vegetables, meats, salsas and sauces, all wrapped in a tortilla. For the last 5 years, at Wickedfood, we’ve been experimenting with different flavour combinations, to create a selection of unique signature tacos that we can claim as our own. 

Workshop

Due to a number of requests, we’ll be combining some of our Themed Lunches with a workshop beforehand, for those who’d like to learn how to prepare some of the dishes. If you join the workshop (limited to maximum 6 participants), you’ll get the unique opportunity to work with our chef, as he prepares the lunch. Not only will you get hands-on experience on preparing the various dishes, but you’ll also receive extensive notes, and tips along the way.

For this Workshop we’ll introduce you to a few of our favourite tacos. Together we’ll:

• make up 4 very different tortillas;
• prepare a selection of salsas and sauces;
• prepare raw and cooked vegetables, fruits and morsels of melt-in-the-mouth slow-cooked meats;
• prepare and plate a selection of unique tacos topping combinations.

And at the end enjoy the creations as a delicious lunch.

Lunch

For the lunch we’ll be presenting a true taste of the Mexican inspired Tacos table, including:

• An introductory selection of unique salads, salsas and dips, to enjoy with nachos;
• 4 of our signature tacos followed by an opportunity for you to mix and match your own tacos from a selection of tortillas, raw and cooked vegetables, fruits, salsas, sauces and melt-in-the-mouth slow-cooked meats;
• a tequila based desert.
