Join us for an evening of Latin American street food, where you will learn to make the flaky meets juicy pastry pocket we all know and love as empanadas. These flavorful patties made of dough are traditionally filled with meat, seafood, cheese, vegetables or fruit, and have a variety of adaptions based on the country you enjoy them in. It is however believed that early Spanish immigrants carried the recipe to Argentina during the 16th century.
In this fun and hands-on class, you will be guided step-by-step in preparing your own Empanadas from scratch with three unique fillings: Bean & Vegetable, Argentine Beef, and Mexican Pineapple for something sweet. You will learn to make the dough from scratch, and while it's resting you'll prepare each of the three filling recipes. Next, the Chef will demonstrate how to fill your empanada disks before folding and sealing the edges to perfection.
The best part of the class will be sitting down to enjoy your delicious made from scratch meal. You'll be excited to remake this special dish and share with friends and family back home!
No experience is required! We provide all the equipment and ingredients, which are easy to find at local markets if you don’t already have them in your home kitchen. Our events are casual and meant to be fun and instructive, not hardcore. This class is designed to be just as fun for the cooking enthusiast who wants to be a part of every step as it is for the first-timer who’s happier observing and assisting (or taste testing).
Guests are invited to BYOB wine, beer, or champagne. Please note that class will be hosted in Chef Gill's home.
