Hello, I’m Ulises

I learned to cook corn from my grandmother, who started the pot the night before and never once looked at a clock. I have written down what she did and added the clock. A batch of masa takes about a day from dry corn, and nearly all of that day is waiting. My recipes show you which part is work and which part is the pot doing its job.

I cook on a clay comal over a fire in the yard when it is dry and on the stove when it rains, and I film both. I grind on a stone when I have the time and with a hand mill when I do not.

I sell what I use myself: timelines to print, a workbook on masa, guides to corn colors and tortilla troubles, and two video courses. I do not sell corn, tools or lessons. I show you how to do it in your own kitchen.
