Enjoy a truly unique hands-on foodie experience immersed in traditional Puerto Rican hospitality. In this New York cooking class, hosted by our resident Chef Instructor with a proud Puerto Rican heritage, you'll gain a deeper understanding of the history of Puerto Rican culture and cuisine and are guaranteed to leave with a full belly!
Over two hours, you'll be guided step-by-step in preparing some well-renowned recipes that capture the true essence of Puerto Rican cuisine. After gaining a brief insight into Puerto Rican history and way of living, you will be taught some valuable knife skills. You will then use these skills to recreate two of the most classic Puerto Rican dishes. Both of these dishes can be adapted to vegetarian-friendly versions.
We'll finish the class on a sweet note by dishing up some dessert empanadas using guava paste. Once you have dished up your Puerto Rican spread, sit down with your new-found foodie friends and celebrate your hard work eating family-style!
