A Tour of Mexico — The Olive Store Cooking Demo

Much in the same way the regions of the United States have cuisine unique to their area, Mexico is much the same in that multiple regions make up the country with each having distinctive tastes.

The Olive Store in Livonia is hosting a cooking demonstration on Saturday, July 19 in its Laurel Park Mall store, teaching the skills that will leave its participants able to prepare the authentic Mexican menu:
