Learn how to make all of the Secret Seasonings in this class and take them home with you!
About this Event

Longtime Lower East Side resident and local caterer Maria Bido shares the recipes and techniques passed down by her abuela, all based in authentic Puerto Rican flavors and ingredients from Essex Market.

Each month we’ll explore a new batch of family favorites, including Maria’s flawless arroz con pollo, street food from a classic Cuchifritos to delicious desserts!

In this class we're going to enjoy make all of the delicious seasonings Maria uses to make her Traditional Puerto Rican Dishes! All participants will take home a 16 ounce container of each item and we will enjoy Arroz con Pollo con Habichuelas y Maduros after all of our hard work.

The seasonings we will make are a phenomenal combination of traditional Caribbean Flavors.

• Sofrito

• Garlic Paste

• Garlic Sauce

• Adobo

The class will be approximately 2 hours long and include time to savor a meal prepared by Maria together as a group.

All Sales are Final. Tickets are Non-Refundable or Transferable
