One of the most exhilarating feelings for Rossana is sharing with an audience the true essence of the culinary wonders of her beloved Mexico.  Her passion for Mexico’s rich cultural and gastronomic heritage began at a young age, and it was after her family moved to Vancouver in the early 90’s that she soon realized what her mission in life is:
to share with the world what authentic Mexican food is truly all about.

Over the past 10 years Rossana has been successful in working in fine dining restaurants in Vancouver, appeared on television shows, has been a Cultural Promoter from Mexico’s National Council of Arts and Culture and currently has her own catering company “Encanto” while working with Edible British Columbia providing tours at the Granville Island Market.

Rossana is proud to provide her culinary creations from Mexico to you.  In this evening class you will learn how to prepare four courses of authentic Mexican cuisine.
