Description

Masa! You know it as the dough that’s formed from stone-ground nixtamalized corn and transformed into tortillas, tamales, tlayudas, and the list goes on. But it’s more than just a bedrock of Mexican cooking — masa has permeated Los Angeles food culture through and through, making appearances in pizza doughs, corndog batters, pie crusts and beyond. To celebrate the debut of Jorge Gaviria’s new book MASA: Techniques, Recipes, and Reflections on a Timeless Staple, Masienda is hosting MASAFEST, an outdoor food fair featuring some of the city’s best expressions of masa from favorites like Taco María, Ditroit, Quarantine Pizza, Los Dorados & Poncho’s Tlayudas. There will also be a book signing hosted by Now Serving, a kid's activity corner, and a pop-up shop from Masienda and music courtesy of DJ José Galván. This event is open to the public. The first 300 guests who pre-register before September 6 will receive a FREE bag of Masienda Heirloom Corn Masa Harina ($12 value) upon checking in.
