The Salad of the Caesar

Did you know that one of the world’s most famous Mexican-born dishes is the Caesar Salad?

Did you know it was created in Tijuana, Mexico, by an Italian immigrant?

Join us for an unforgettable evening where food, history, live music, and storytelling come together.

Inspired by the original Spanish expression “La Ensalada del César”—“The Salad of the Caesar”—this experience explores the origins of one of the world’s most celebrated dishes while honoring the rich cultural history surrounding it.

Oscar and Danitza will guide you through the preparation of the original Caesar Salad, sharing its authentic ingredients, traditional preparation techniques, and the fascinating story of how a simple salad created in Tijuana became an international culinary icon.
The evening will also feature a unique family story passed down through generations. Oscar will share the memories of his grandfather, Quinto Alessandrini, who worked in the kitchen where the Caesar Salad was created. Through these firsthand recollections, guests will discover a personal connection to one of the most beloved recipes in culinary history.

After the demonstration, enjoy your freshly prepared Caesar Salad while listening to live music in the intimate and welcoming atmosphere of Altar Aqua Studio.

More than a cooking class, this is a cultural and culinary experience celebrating food, history, family traditions, music, and the joy of gathering around the table.
