Taco Tuesday
Northern Mexico cooks with wheat, which is why the flour tortilla exists at all, and it is where this night starts: with your hands in dough. You mix, rest, roll, and cook your own tortillas on a hot comal until they blister. Almost nobody has done this before, and it quietly ruins the store-bought kind for you.
Nothing is pre-cooked. You poach chicken and shred it hot, then simmer it in a salsa roja you make yourself from charred tomato, onion, garlic, and chile. That is the lesson of the night: a filling built from raw, not scooped from a pan.
While that comes together, the table gets its spread, and an agua fresca gets mixed for the room. Then everyone sits down and eats what they made.
On the menu
- Tortillas de Harina: flour tortillas from scratch, mixed, rested, rolled thin, and cooked on the comal
- Pollo con Salsa Roja: chicken poached and shredded hot, then simmered in a salsa roja you build from charred tomato, onion, garlic, and chile
- Para la Mesa: the garnish spread that makes a taco yours, cut and set out for the table
- Agua Fresca: fresh fruit, a little sugar, cold water

“I had an amazing experience at Life Plus Pasta Making! The instructor was personable, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about what he does. He shared how he developed these classes, and it was clear that his own curiosity and love of learning inspired the entire experience. He was incredibly patient with everyone, while still guiding us in a way that made sure we actually learned the techniques instead of just following directions. By the end of the class, we had made a meal that was absolutely delicious. It was hard to believe that something so good came from our own hands! I will 100% be taking another class. They offer such a wide variety of classes for different interests that I have a feeling I'll be coming back for quite a while. If you're thinking about trying one, don't hesitate—you'll leave with new skills, great food, and a memorable experience.”

Cap Onevia Google“My colleagues and I had an incredible time at Life Plus LA! Marc led our team of 8 through the baking course. We spent 1.5 hours learning, socializing, laughing and enjoying our way through creating biscuits, fruit tarts and bundt cakes. Marc was so incredibly knowledgable, witty, and a pleasure to be around. After the baking was complete, Marc set us up in the cafe to enjoy our creations. We spent another 1.5 hours there. Finally, we packaged our leftovers and went on our way! I can't wait to try some of the other classes!”
Susana Melkonyanvia Google“My husband and I booked a Thai cooking class with Marc for date night and it was such a treat. The 5 star reviews are well deserved. We loved how thorough and knowledgeable Marc was about cooking and the food science. He makes sure to teach you not just how but also why, you’re doin something. Not to mention the food tasted amazing and we were so pleased with how everything turned out. Do not hesitate to book! 10/10 recommend :)”
Gabrielle Pretlowvia Google“Such a good time! Our class was the Vietnamese course and it was very well crafted and structured. We enjoyed learning how to handle spring rolls, flavor and plate pho, and make a delicious hearty crepe. My goal was to learn some techniques and I walked out with some new ones!”
