Since Angie can’t physically welcome you into her home, she wants to do so virtually!
Our online classes are designed to be special, meaningful opportunities to share cooking, culture, and connection--just like our real life experiences. We want you to cook along, and we promise there will be plenty of time for questions, conversation, and stories. It will all end with a virtual dinner party where you'll get to share in the fruits of your labor, apart, but together!
In this 2.5 hour interactive online experience Angie will guide you through making three of her family recipes. During your class, you'll prepare Angie's picadillo (a traditional ground beef and potato dish), arroz a la mexicana (long grain rice toasted and simmered in tomato-onion paste), and frijoles negros (black beans simmered with aromatics) served with sliced avocado, queso fresco, and queso blanco.
