LA COCINA DE LOISAIDA - Essex Market and Loisaida, Inc. present a series of cooking seminars led by Chef María Bido
|
|
In this month's class on Wednesday, April 20th, we’re all about Escabeche — a flavor-packed sauce that started in Spain and spread worldwide. María will share her tips for the Puerto Rican take on this marinated fish dish, and complete the meal with two more mouthwatering recipes!
The class will be approximately 1.5 hours long and include time to savor the dishes you prepare together as a group. La Cocina de Loisaida takes place in the Essex Kitchen — Essex Market's demonstration and teaching kitchen located on the market's mezzanine level.
La Cocina de Loisaida is a series of monthly hands-on cooking classes where we celebrate the rich cultural traditions of Puerto Rican cuisine. Longtime Lower East Side resident and local caterer María Bido shares the recipes and techniques passed down by her abuela — all based in authentic Puerto Rican flavors and ingredients from Essex Market.
This series is presented in partnership with Essex Market with the collective mission to preserve and pass down culinary heritage from the Lower East Side community. We invite all ages and abilities to join us for these unique, fun, and celebratory cooking classes at Essex Market.
