editor, mother of twins, and enthusiastic home cook. I was raised by an Italian-American mother who, in the 1970s, grew her own basil (because she couldn’t find any in the local grocery stores), zucchini (for those delicious flowers), and tomatoes (because the ones in the store tasted like “a potato”). My mom taught us to love all kinds of food and revere high-quality ingredients. I am now trying to follow in my mother’s footsteps and am on a mission to help my daughters become adventurous eaters who have a healthy respect for seasonal food raised locally. My daughters and I grow vegetables and go to the farmers’ market. We also love to shop at Piedmont Grocery and Trader Joe’s. When I’m not hanging out with my daughters or cooking, I like to contribute to cookbooks (including Williams-Sonoma’s Food Made Fast and Foods of the World series), work as an editor, and write about food for \u003cstrong>Bay Area Bites\u003c/strong> and \u003cstrong>Denise's Kitchen\u003c/strong>.

No wonder this annual December event always sells out in November. Tamales can be intimidating for the novice, and even for a pro are time-consuming and labor intensive. That's the reason behind tamaladas (tamale making parties): share the toil and end up with enough to eat plus a pile to take home for later.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Besides demystifying tamale making (this is the first time I dared to try my hand at filling and rolling the corn meal bundles) the event at La Cocina introduced students to three chefs from different regions of Latin America, each demonstrating their own traditional recipes and techniques that produced a variety of stuffed, steamy bundles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tamales, a beloved comfort food served for festivals, birthdays and everyday meals, are a staple at Christmastime. They date back thousands of years, even before the Mayans and Aztecs. The portable, filled buns have fed generations of families (and armies) from Mexico to Argentina. Corn meal wrapped in corn husks, plantain or banana leaves can be filled with almost anything, most commonly with shredded pork, beef or chicken, while sweet tamales feature fruit or raisins and coconut.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_53123\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 560px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/12/Alicias-beef-and-mango-tamales-1000a.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-53123\" title=\"Alicia's beef and mango tamales\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/12/Alicias-beef-and-mango-tamales-1000a.jpg\" alt=\"Alicia's beef and mango tamales\" width=\"560\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Alicia's beef and mango tamales\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Alicia Villanueva of \u003ca href=\"http://www.aliciatamaleslosmayas.com/\">Tamales Los Mayas\u003c/a> grew up in Mazatlan and her masa had the consistency of a light play-doh.

Every year, the whole family would get together and cook them. It’s really hard work and takes many hours and dedication because there are so many details. First, you have to prepare the masa and then the fillings. My Grandma would start with the corncobs and a mill to make the masa.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I started cooking and selling tamales just by myself in 2000 but it was more stressful without any permits or anything and I just depended on friends to tell me who was planning a party or else I walked the streets knocking on doors, offering tastes of my tamales.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then I realized I needed more help so I went to \u003ca href=\"http://www.womensinitiative.org/index.htm\">The Women’s Initiative\u003c/a>. And my teacher referred me to La Cocina in 2010 and this was the most heavenly place. I am so happy. La Cocina made my dream come true. Now I have five women working for me. They make about 400 tamales a day in La Cocina’s kitchen. The Hobart mixer and the professional steamer are my angels. I can steam 400 tamales in 30 minutes compared to 5 hours it would take on a small stove.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Tell me about the Tamalada tradition in your family.

Our Tamaladas would take a whole day. There were 10 of us family and friends, and my grandmother would dole out the tasks. When I was little, I enjoyed all the smells of cooking. It’s not just about cooking, but talking and solving problems together as a family. And everyone goes home with lots of tamales that last for days.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Where can we find your tamales now?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Alicia:\u003c/strong> I used to sell at Justin Herman Plaza but I found a new place at \u003ca href=\"http://somastreatfoodpark.com/\">SOMA Streat Food\u003c/a> -- every day.

No wonder this annual December event always sells out in November. Tamales can be intimidating for the novice, and even for a pro are time-consuming and labor intensive. That's the reason behind tamaladas (tamale making parties): share the toil and end up with enough to eat plus a pile to take home for later.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Besides demystifying tamale making (this is the first time I dared to try my hand at filling and rolling the corn meal bundles) the event at La Cocina introduced students to three chefs from different regions of Latin America, each demonstrating their own traditional recipes and techniques that produced a variety of stuffed, steamy bundles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tamales, a beloved comfort food served for festivals, birthdays and everyday meals, are a staple at Christmastime. They date back thousands of years, even before the Mayans and Aztecs. The portable, filled buns have fed generations of families (and armies) from Mexico to Argentina. Corn meal wrapped in corn husks, plantain or banana leaves can be filled with almost anything, most commonly with shredded pork, beef or chicken, while sweet tamales feature fruit or raisins and coconut.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_53123\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 560px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/12/Alicias-beef-and-mango-tamales-1000a.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-53123\" title=\"Alicia's beef and mango tamales\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/12/Alicias-beef-and-mango-tamales-1000a.jpg\" alt=\"Alicia's beef and mango tamales\" width=\"560\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Alicia's beef and mango tamales\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Alicia Villanueva of \u003ca href=\"http://www.aliciatamaleslosmayas.com/\">Tamales Los Mayas\u003c/a> grew up in Mazatlan and her masa had the consistency of a light play-doh.

Every year, the whole family would get together and cook them. It’s really hard work and takes many hours and dedication because there are so many details. First, you have to prepare the masa and then the fillings. My Grandma would start with the corncobs and a mill to make the masa.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I started cooking and selling tamales just by myself in 2000 but it was more stressful without any permits or anything and I just depended on friends to tell me who was planning a party or else I walked the streets knocking on doors, offering tastes of my tamales.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then I realized I needed more help so I went to \u003ca href=\"http://www.womensinitiative.org/index.htm\">The Women’s Initiative\u003c/a>. And my teacher referred me to La Cocina in 2010 and this was the most heavenly place. I am so happy. La Cocina made my dream come true. Now I have five women working for me. They make about 400 tamales a day in La Cocina’s kitchen. The Hobart mixer and the professional steamer are my angels. I can steam 400 tamales in 30 minutes compared to 5 hours it would take on a small stove.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Tell me about the Tamalada tradition in your family.

Our Tamaladas would take a whole day. There were 10 of us family and friends, and my grandmother would dole out the tasks. When I was little, I enjoyed all the smells of cooking. It’s not just about cooking, but talking and solving problems together as a family. And everyone goes home with lots of tamales that last for days.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Where can we find your tamales now?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Alicia:\u003c/strong> I used to sell at Justin Herman Plaza but I found a new place at \u003ca href=\"http://somastreatfoodpark.com/\">SOMA Streat Food\u003c/a> -- every day.

Every week, Pen talks to movers and shakers about how the Bay Area shapes what they create, and how they shape the place we call home.","imageSrc":"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Rightnowish-Podcast-Tile-500x500-1.jpg","imageAlt":"KQED Rightnowish with Pendarvis Harshaw","officialWebsiteLink":"/podcasts/rightnowish","meta":{"site":"arts","source":"kqed","order":"5"},"link":"/podcasts/rightnowish","subscribe":{"npr":"https://www.npr.org/podcasts/721590300/rightnowish","rss":"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/programs/rightnowish/feed/podcast","apple":"https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/rightnowish/id1482187648","stitcher":"https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/kqed/rightnowish","google":"https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5tZWdhcGhvbmUuZm0vS1FJTkMxMjU5MTY3NDc4","spotify":"https://open.spotify.com/show/7kEJuafTzTVan7B78ttz1I"}},"jerrybrown":{"id":"jerrybrown","title":"The Political Mind of Jerry Brown","tagline":"Lessons from a lifetime in politics","info":"The Political Mind of Jerry Brown brings listeners the wisdom of the former Governor, Mayor, and presidential candidate.
