A hands-on class culminating in dinner served with wine and beer.
Celebrate Chinese New Year at 18 Reasons in this hands-on cooking class where you’ll learn to prepare Chinese-Peruvian Chifa dishes. Originally from the Canton region of China, these dishes have been popular in Lima’s Chinatown since the 1850’s. Tonight’s class is taught by our resident Peruvian chef Nico Vera, for whom Chifa is the comfort food of his childhood that is always best enjoyed family-style.
