Winter in Florida Chef Night
Latin-Inspired Flavors • Hands-On Cooking Class
Celebrate the season Florida-style as Chef Fernando brings the warmth and vibrancy of Latin-inspired cooking to your kitchen. This immersive, hands-on class showcases bold flavors, fresh ingredients, and the cozy comfort of winter dishes infused with tropical flair.
The evening begins with Chorizo Mini Arepas—crispy, golden corn cakes topped with smoky chorizo and a silky black bean purée. Chef Fernando will guide you through the art of balancing spice, texture, and richness, showing how to transform simple ingredients into small bites bursting with personality.
For the main course, you’ll dive into the coastal brightness of Blackened Shrimp with Avocado Corn Salsa. You will learn tips for achieving the perfect char on shrimp while building a vibrant salsa layered with citrus, sweet corn, and creamy avocado. The result is a dish that captures the essence of winter in the Sunshine State—bold, fresh, and full of sunshine.
Join us for a night of culinary creativity where winter warmth meets Florida breeze, and every plate tells a story of flavor and celebration.
And as always, the evening ends on a sweet note with a fabulous dessert.
This class is suitable for the following Dynamic Duo* types:
YES: Parent/Grandparent & Child
YES: Couples
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!) On Chef/Date Nights you will always have enough for two and generally extra to bring home too.
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.
