Jump on the Hot Tamale Train and let Food Network star Marcela Vallodolid show you the simplicity and vibrancy of cuisine from South of the Border. The star of Food Network’s Mexican Made Easy prides herself on bringing authentic Mexican flavors to America, and reminds fans that, “there is no yellow cheese in real Mexican cooking.” Marcela will create recipes from her first cookbook FRESH MEXICO: 100 Simple Recipes for True Mexican Flavor with the help of Christian Plotczyk, corproate chef of Rosa Mexicano---known as the gold standard in upscale Mexican cuisine. Master Sommelier Mark Oldman will find the perfect liquid pairing for this fiesta. Mark’s book Oldman’s Brave New World of Wine won the 2011 Georges Duboeuf Best New Wine Book of the Year Award.  Let Marcela,Mark and Rosa Mexicano show you an elevated version of Mexican cuisine like you’ve never seen it before. The Festival’s lifestyle seminars are a great place to start or supplement your wine and pairing education.
