Latin American Packed Lunch

Community Class - Latin American Packed Lunch

The Event

Join us for a vibrant and flavourful cooking class, "Latin American Packed Lunch," dedicated to the memory of our beloved member of the Made in Hackney community, Toby. Inspired by Toby's love for Latin American cuisine that he discovered through his travels in the region, this community class celebrates his passion and spirit.

From quesadillas to tacos and beyond, you'll learn the art of creating delicious and nutritious Latin American-inspired dishes that are perfect for packing a flavorful punch in your lunchbox.

About Vivianne Pontes

Food researcher Vivianne Pontes experiences food through many walks of life and adventures. She graduated with a Biochemistry and Molecular Biology degree which has developed and enriched her Food Science perspective. But through her travels and the exciting melting pot of foods in her native Brazil, she explored the intimate cultural foundations and many shared elements and overlays that form the basis of many dishes. She has written extensively about food and produced some pioneering content about aquafaba on the internet. Vivianne experienced the professional side of the food industry working as a head chef and consultant for pubs and restaurants in the UK. She never stops researching and experimenting with food & flavours. Lucky for us, she landed at Made in Hackney where she assists on the classes programme and sometimes pops in to run her own classes which have been hugely popular with our community. When asked where she got this deep love for food, she replied: "Because I am always hungry; for food, for knowledge, for sharing."
