Venezuelan cooking class

Cela Spanish School Venezuela, cooking course

The form of preparing dishes and cooking, the flavors and smells of a country, are a very important part of his culture. At Cela Spanish School we are convinced that language is culture. But the Venezuelan culture is much more then language. It is because we accommodate our Spanish students in Venezuelan host families. And if you like cooking and eating, you will enjoy this short Venezuelan cooking course. It was conceived as an additional activity for our Spanish language students, but also other persons, that are not taking Spanish lessons with us, can participate.

Courses are offered on several Saturdays during the year from 9.00 am to 1.00 pm. Minimum participants quote is 3. It will be held by our school director Sabina Loffler. Besides her job, which is teaching Spanish, she loves to cook, and has taken a lot of cooking courses.

We will cook following dishes:

• Empanadas (Venezuelan dishes based on corn flour)
• Huevo perico (Venezuelan breakfast egg dish)
• Pabellón criollo (national dish consisting of: rice, plátanos, black beans and meat)
• Pastel de Chucho (typical food of Margarita Island, it is a sort of lasagna with plátanos and fish)
• Quesillo (typical Venezuelan dessert based on eggs and milk)

The price of the cooking course is Bs. 80 for Cela students and 120 for non students. Participants will receive recipes, a certification and food tasting of the prepared dishes.
