Handmade Empanadas

Description

Join us for our handmade empanadas class where you will learn to make the pastry pocket we all know and love filled with creative and unique ingredients. These flavorful patties made of dough are traditionally sweet and savory, and have a variety of adaptions based on the country you enjoy them in.

In this fun and hands-on class, you will be guided step-by-step in preparing your own Empanadas from scratch. You will learn to make the dough to then stuff the empanadas with the Chef's recipe featuring a delicious and sweet guava filling, as well as a savory chicken creation. Next, the Chef will demonstrate how to fill your empanada disks before folding and sealing the edges off to be baked to a flaky, golden perfection.

The best part of the class will be sitting down to enjoy your delicious made from scratch meal, with new-found skills to remake this special dish and share with friends and family back home! We can't wait to welcome you at the Galería in La Cosecha for an unforgettable night of Latin American cooking.

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.

Please arrive 15 minutes early to check in. Drinks will be available for purchase from the vendors at La Cosecha.

Meet your chef instructor
As a personal chef, Chef Sorangel has been sharing her love and knowledge of Puerto Rican cuisine for over 10 years, it’s wonderful to see how the power of food can bring people together and create cherished memories. Growing up in Puerto Rico, Chef Sorangel's grandma taught her to cook with sofrito, enjoy the flavors of tropical fruits like plantains and coconuts, and (of course) the art of making Puerto Rican empanadas. Over the years, she has been experimenting with modern twists on classic recipes, incorporating new ingredients and techniques to create unique and delicious dishes. "When I cook, I’m sharing a piece of Puerto Rican history and culture".

The teacher, setting, equipment was great and the empanadas we made were tasty, just wish we could have made more! Even if it was just more of the same fillings, only two empanadas was pretty light.
