Mole on menu at Review-Journal’s next online cooking lesson

The second installment in the Review-Journal’s Food &Cocktail Virtual Series will take place on May 13, and ingredient boxes are on sale now.

La Bonita Supermarkets spokeswoman Celeste Perez, known professionally as “Chef La Che,” once again will walk Zoom viewers through step-by-step instructions on how to prepare a meal, with cocktails, from a box of prepared ingredients. This time, chicken with mole sauce and homemade tortillas will be on the menu, with traditional margaritas to wash it down.

“It’s super-exciting to have the materials ready,” Perez says. “You don’t have to really go and shop.”

Home cooks who want to participate can order the ingredient box online at reviewjournal.com/cooking, before May 9. Boxes are $70 and have everything needed to make a meal for up to four people. They can be picked up between 10 a.m. and 7 p.m. May 11 or 12 at one of two La Bonita locations, 6000 W. Cheyenne Ave. or 2851 N. Green Valley Parkway.

This is the second of four quarterly virtual lessons planned for 2021. The series will continue with shrimp ceviche, homemade guacamole, Latin grilling and charro negro or palmoa cocktails (or both) Aug. 12. The year’s final lesson will take place Nov. 11 and will feature holiday tamales, rice pudding and hot, spiced chocolate.
