Summer Mango Mania

A Crespo Organic Kitchen Cooking Class

Class Description: Crespo Organic’s hometown is ceviche heaven. This class pays homage to the king of ceviche. We’ll go over proper mango cutting methods for ceviche, how to select your fish and any other ingredients for maximum freshness. On Nissa’s last trip, she picked up a few tips and tricks and a special hot juice that she’ll show you sets this ceviche apart. You’ll learn how to make a simple and fresh ceviche using tuna, mangoes and avocadoes, plus a new recipe inspired by our Mazatlán roots! We’ll also make her favorite Mazatlán Pueblo Bonito beach drink – the virgin piña colada – which pairs perfectly with these summer ceviches.

Class Description: This class is a no-BS introduction to the top ways to slice and dice a mango (visit this link for a sampling of cuts we may go over). We’re not into the cookie cutter method of doing things. We’ll meet you where you’re at based on your knife skills, mango varietals, and ripeness of the fruit to teach you how to hold your own while cutting your mangoes. We’ll have something for everyone, and we will even show you the advanced Mexican flower method! We will also whip up a few simple recipes putting all of our cuttings to good use (because we hate waste and love these recipes).

A Crespo Organic Kitchen Cooking Class

Class Description: Get your kids in the kitchen to learn to make naturally sweetened mango popsicles. We will “kiddify” our usual mango education, showing them how to cut mangoes using “the mango hack” but stick around because your kids will need an adult present. (Trust us, you’ll probably learn something, too). Note: We don’t use much sugar in this class. The kids will undoubtedly love them just the way they are. Also, it doesn’t matter if you have popsicle molds or not (if not, any old [clean] ice cube tray or cleaned yogurt cups will do), but we do recommend buying an inexpensive set online. They are so much fun for kids, and it may encourage them to eat more fresh fruit.

Recipes to be Made: Mango & Coconut Dreamcicles; Strawberry-Mango Paletas
