A hands-on cooking class culminating in dinner served with wine and beer.

In honor of Filipino American History Month, we are glad to welcome back Yana Gilbuena to our classroom. Lutong Ina Mo, a cheeky play on a Filipino turn of phrase, is a reference to Your Momma's Cooking and is a celebration of Filipino homecooked foods. After cooking a number of dishes that might be unknown to those who might have only eaten Filipino party foods (i.e. lumpia), we will dine communally with our hands, kamayan-style. Our dining tables, normally left natural and uncovered, will be functionally decorated with banana leaves. Upon this leafy spine, we will place the courses in the middle of the table, inviting students to clean their hands and dig in!
