A hands-on class culminating in a dinner served with wine and beer.
Celebrate Black History Month at 18 Reasons with a hands-on cooking class featuring traditional Afro-Peruvian dishes from the coastal region of Peru. Tonight’s class is inspired by last year's successful pop-up dinner by our resident Peruvian chef Nico Vera. This time, you'll learn how to cook these dishes, guided by Nico's culinary experience and his stories about Peru’s creole culture, while we play Afro-Peruvian music on the radio.
