classes
We are now offering private and limited group recreational (max. 6 persons, min. 4) cooking/lifestyle classes in the comfort of your home.
Classes will focus on the preparation of delicious, seasonal menus, using the freshest ingredients in an informative, professional yet relaxed environment, so you can enjoy, de-stress, make new friends and learn at the same time. Our recipes celebrate my Latin heritage as well as classic dishes from around the world.
In each three hour session, we will guide you through the recipes, teach you cooking techniques and provide hands-on training.
No need to have experience and students of all cooking levels are welcome. Best of all, you eat what you cook -a delicious, celebratory meal- and at the end of the class, you will get the recipes so you can recreate the recipes at home and impress friends and loved ones.
Classes are available in English and Spanish. Check listings.
