A hands-on class culminating in a dinner served with wine and beer.
Enter Nico’s cocina criolla and celebrate 18 Reasons’ 10th Anniversary with traditional dishes from his native Peru — from the ceviche and lomo saltado beef stir-fry he prepared at his first pop-up dinner at 18 Reasons seven years ago, to the aji de gallina pulled chicken stew that inspired him to become a chef, this class is a culinary journey to his hometown of Lima.
