La Chivaloca

Born and raised in Mexico, now sharing the flavours of home from Australia.

Authentic Mexican recipes, cooking classes, family stories and artisan salsas inspired by the everyday meals I grew up with.

Just came back from a weekend in a beautiful spot, filled with friends, laughter and good food. It was great to cook on an open fire, make things from scratch and teach and learn.

The best thing La Chivaloca adventure has given me is a community. Getting to know people, make friends and share my favourite food really fills my cup and for that I am really grateful.

So there is a new salsa on the block. This one is making the rounds on Instagram and I had to try it. Habanero, beetroot, garlic lime juice and oil produce a silky smooth salsa that packs some punch. Do you dare try it?

4 habaneros (or to taste)
1 small beetroot cooked
3 cloves of garlic
1/2 cup lime juice
30ml oil
Salt and pepper

In a small frying pan sauté chilies and garlic until soft, or roast on a dry skillet covered with foil.

Add chilies, beetroot, garlic, lime juice and salt and pepper to a blender and process until smooth. Keep blending and add the oil in a thin stream until emulsified.

Enjoy on your favourite tacos, quesadillas, cheese on toast or whatever else your heart desires.

Flan, also known as creme caramel, it’s a creamy, sweet treat that was one of my favourites growing up. Judy, my sister in law, makes the best flan ever and she has shared her recipe with me.

It doesn’t matter how many times I’ve made it, the unmolding is always daunting.

Something sweet is coming to La Chivaloca

I’m so excited to introduce our newest workshop:
Sweet Mexico: Tres Leches & Flan Workshop

Join me in my kitchen for an afternoon of whisking, baking, caramel-making and storytelling as we learn to make two of Mexico’s most beloved desserts completely from scratch.

Together we’ll create:
* Silky homemade flan with golden caramel
* Soft and dreamy Tres Leches cake
* Coffee, sweet treats and good conversation along the way

This class is beginner friendly, hands-on and full of the comforting flavours I grew up with in Mexico.

If you’ve ever wanted to learn authentic Mexican desserts beyond churros, this one is for you 💛
