Cooking Class: Latin Fusion Cooking
Make ceviche, paella, arepas and tres leches in this fun Spanish–South American fusion cooking class!
You’ll start by making leche de tigre, the bright, citrusy base that brings Peruvian ceviche to life. Choose snapper, octopus or tuna and mix it up for a refreshing, coastal appetizer. Then it’s time for paella, complete with saffron and fresh seafood and yes, you’ll learn that key technique to get the rice perfectly crispy at the bottom. You’ll also make arepas packed with black beans and gooey cheese, a simple side dish that hits all the comfort notes. To finish on a sweet note, whip up tres leches cake with cinnamon and fresh fruit. Book your spot today!
