Chelita and I have decided that we need to start offering cooking classes through El Nomad for those indviduals who are going to be here long-term (or foreigners who live here) and want to learn to work with the foods that Ecuador has to offer.
I just wanted to post the class information here in case anyone who reads this blog is in Cuenca and would like to sign up!
Classes will take place every Tuesday at 3:00pm in the El Nomad center (in Las Pencas). Each class will last around 2 hours and will end with us eating what we made (yum!) and having a cup of Ecuadorian grown coffee (or tea if people aren't coffee drinkers). Classes are instructed in Spanish by Chelita, but I will be there to translate and help those who are still in the process of learning the language. We will also email each participant a pdf of the recipes in both English and Spanish after the class is over.
Our first class will be Tuesday, August 24th and we will be teaching our culinary students how to make Empanadas del Viento (the famous fried cheese empanadas that are covered in sugar). Each class costs $10 or you can pay $36 for a month of classes (4 classes).
This is a great chance to learn how to work with fruits such as tomate de arbol and naranjilla, and to learn how to make traditional dishes like empanadas, tamales, humitas, etc. It's also a great place to practice your Spanish in a casual setting!
Additional information about the cooking classes can be found on our website (http://elnomad.com/cookingclasses.php) or you can message me for additional information.
We hope to see you at the classes and in the mean time, buen provecho!
