A Night in Havana: Cuban Cuisine with Chef Fernando

Step into the vibrant soul of Cuba without leaving town! Chef Fernando invites you to a flavorful and unforgettable evening of Cuban cuisine—infused with flair, fun, and a few delicious twists. This hands-on and demo-style hybrid class is perfect for food lovers, adventurous cooks, and anyone craving a culinary escape to Old Havana.

🍴 Menu Highlights:

  • Appetizer: Croquetas de Jamón y Yuca (Ham & Yuca Croquettes) served with a zesty Cilantro Cream Sauce

  • Entrée: Rum-Glazed Mojo Chicken with Moros y Cristianos (Cuban Black Bean Rice)

  • Dessert: A FABulous Cuban-Inspired Surprise created exclusively for this class!

Learn the history and flavors behind one of Cuba’s most iconic dishes—Mojo Chicken—a citrusy, garlicky roasted chicken, taken to the next level with Chef Fernando’s signature rum glaze. This mouthwatering main course is paired with Moros y Cristianos—a rich and savory black bean rice dish that’s anything but ordinary.

You'll also roll up your sleeves to create your own Croquetas de Jamón, learning the tricks behind these golden, crispy bites from scratch. And of course, we’ll end the night with a show-stopping dessert, specially crafted to surprise and delight.

🍹 Bonus Perks:

  • BYOB: Bring your favorite wine, rum, or mojito mix for the perfect pairing!

  • Perfect for: Date Night, Girls’ Night Out, or a unique evening with friends

  • Take-Home Recipes: So you can recreate the magic again and again

Come hungry, leave inspired—and bring a little Havana home with you!

This class is suitable for the following Dynamic Duo* types:

YES: Parent/Grandparent & Child (This is a BYOB class, so use your discretion.)

YES: Couples (live in the same household)

YES: Friends (you will share all equipment/ingredients for 1 recipe/batch…we let you rock, paper, scissors if the recipe doesn’t divide equally.)

*What is a Dynamic Duo? It’s basically two buddies sharing the same workstation at no extra charge. You share all equipment and ingredients for a single batch of whatever we’re making that day. (Don’t worry, we won’t stick you with some random stranger- if you want to fly solo, you’ll have the station (and all the yummy food) all to yourself!)

We provide all ingredients, supplies, and tools required for use during each class. Best of all you get to take home whatever tasty treats you make - we provide all boxes/packaging too!

Please wear comfortable shoes (stools will be provided) and have long hair tied back. For the comfort of all our students and staff, we ask that you refrain from wearing strong perfume or cologne. You may wish to bring a cardigan or sweater as the kitchen is kept at 68F.
