What's Up?
SalviSoul is a cookbook! But, it's also more than that...
SalviSoul documents the foodways of Salvadoran cuisine and also documents the stories of women who migrated from El Salvador to the United States.
These women are mothers, grandmothers, aunts, sisters and hermanas who have nurtured the second generation of Salvadoran people in the United States with food and who have also, perhaps without realizing, taken the role of preserving culture for the future U.S. born "Salvis". Along with food, the traditions of storytelling have been passed down at the dinner table. Their stories of perseverance, struggle, sacrifice, love and victory have also been our nourishment.

Lessons/Workshops:
Learn Salvadoran recipes, food history and food storytelling with SalviSoul founder, chef, food writer, and recipe developer Karla T. Vasquez!
What you’ll receive:
Attendees will receive a shopping list of the equipment and ingredients as soon as tickets are purchased. On the day of the class students will also receive a Zoom link with the recipe one hour before class to join our virtual classroom. A link to download the class video will be available to students up to 5 days after the class.
How the classes work:
I will be cooking side-by-side with you as we go through each step of the recipe. You want to be relaxed and ready to cook (or watch) when the class starts. Class attendees are encouraged to ask questions often as well as have the opportunity to ask me to troubleshoot any cooking issues that may come up. I want you to feel confident before we move on to the next step! If you would prefer to just sit-in and watch me cook, that is totally fine as well!
All purchases final. Class size is limited to 50 students or households.
