Nahuatl Language Through Food

February 26 @ 7:00 PM – 9:00 PM

Did you know the words for chocolate, tomato, avocado and chile all come form the Nahuatl language? Join Nahuatl teacher Irwin Sanchez as he discusses the etymologies behind popular Mexican cuisine and demonstrates the traditional preparation of several dishes. Not only will participants get a crash course in Nahuatl and be able to pronounce “tomato” and “chocolate” properly for the first time, they will also be treated to a sampling of authentic Nahuatl food from the Mexican state of Puebla.

Doors open at 6:30pm. The event begins at 7pm.

Admission is $10.00. Buy tickets here.
