Cooking Class in Washington D.C. Ceviche & Arepas

This hands-on cooking class teaches you how to make ceviche and arepas from scratch. During the class, we will walk through cooking techniques, knife skills, and how to make delicious savory arepas! There will be very hands-on preparation, and you will master the art of arepa and ceviche making!

Guests can bring non-alcoholic beverages to enjoy during the class. Unfortunately, alcohol is not permitted at this site.

Visit my website, ChestnutUnderground.com, for more details and other scheduled classes!

Please email me if you have any food allergies or if you would like to book a private party. Private parties must be 6-12 people.

When you arrive at the front door please give me a call, so that I can let you in! You will not be able to enter the building unless someone lets you in. The entrance is a blue door, and it is located across the street from Goodwill on Fenwick Street NE. It is the blue door closest to New York Ave NE. If it is possible for you to arrive five minutes early to the class, that would be great! It will help us start on time.

Please bring a hat or something to cover your hair during the class. If you do not have anything I can provide a hair net. The classes are generally 2-3 hours so I recommend eating a snack before and wearing comfortable shoes.
Unfortunately, alcohol is not allowed at this site. You are welcome to bring your own non-alcoholic beverages.

Cancellation Policy- Cooking classes are nonrefundable if canceled within 12 hours of the event. Ingredients for the class are purchased the day of or the day before the event. If you cancel before the 12-hour cut off then it can be rescheduled or fully refunded. Thank you for understanding!
