Cooking across the Americas

Join us as we explore cooking traditions from across the United States, Canada, Central America, and South America. You will learn how to read and follow recipes to prepare a delicious dish from a different region. Sample dishes may include Johnnycakes from New England, Amish Chicken Corn Soup from Pennsylvania, Stuffed Cabbage Rolls from the Midwest, Fish Tacos from California, Arroz a la Mexicana from Mexico, Honduran Baleadas, and Brigadeiros from Brazil. Classes will be hands-on, engaging, and designed to build confidence in the kitchen. Each class, you will practice reading and following a recipe from start to finish and prepare a featured dish to taste. As you cook, you will also learn proper food-handling techniques, basic nutrition concepts, and simple tips that support greater independence in the kitchen. A recipe book will be provided so you can recreate each dish at home. Get ready to roll up your sleeves—your cooking adventure across the Americas is about to begin!
