In the meantime, here are some upcoming classes around town:

Cheese and Chocolate at Sabor Saveur
Guests will watch and learn how to prepare Chef Yanitzin Sanchez's cheese fondue dish (Chihuahua and Roquefort cheeses with tequila, cilantro oil, chipotle sauce, and green and red peppers, plus plenty of bread for dipping), along with the restaurant’s wildly popular chocolate-braised salmon entree (served with an atole pepper sauce).
