Meso-American Cooking with Byron Roman

We extend our gratitude to Byron Roman for sharing his expertise in Meso-American culture, history, and cuisine with our students at The Inspiration Academy. These kinds of cooking lessons are part of our Culinary Arts Module, one of 16 sub-programs within our Community Modules offered to students at our school.

During this first lesson, Byron guided our students through the preparation of corn and black bean tamales, while TIA students enjoyed sampling authentic chocolate from a cacao pod. Byron also explained the significance of our Fountain Hills Sister Cities relationship between Fountain Hills and Ataco, emphasizing the importance of cultural exchange and learning.

Our TIA students are looking forward to further cooking lessons with Byron.
