The Daily Grind II: Stone grinding and tortilla-making with Jorge Gaviria of Masienda at Rosie’s This class is a continuation of Jorge's presentation on nixtamal during Day 1 of Corn Symposium at Tishman Auditorium. We highly recommend you have attended and heard his presentation.
Join us at Rosie's as Jorge guides us through the daily nixtamal process: from dry kernel to swelled nixtamalized corn to finished fragrant tortilla. Class attendees will get to see the nuanced stone grinding process and have some time to practice pressing and finishing masa. Then, sit down to a family-style lunch and enjoy what you've learned. Included in the ticket price is Masienda's tortillas press by Dona Rosa.

Fermenting, Brewing, and Preserving with Corn Treated with Fungus, Bacteria and Yeasts with Ken Fornataro and Kirsten Shockey Corn is a flavorful component of many dishes worldwide. Asian ferments like miso, tempeh, shoyu, pickles, amasake and shio koji, and even sake and vinegar, can be made with corn. Chef Ken Fornataro of culturesgroup and Kirsten Shockey of ferment.works will demonstrate how wild and cultured microbes like koji (miso, sake, shio koji), lactobacteria (pickles) and Rhizopus (tempeh, oncom) make tasty, unique and nutritious foods. Class participants will be tasting everything from soups to salads to breads and even corn nuts during this luncheon class, while learning about how to harness the power of microbes to make these items. We’ll have foods that are vegan, and some that are not to demonstrate the versatility of these techniques, and why you should always have these items on hand. Everyone will receive a container of corn miso, and a corn based sofrito paste to take home with them.
