South American Fiesta Cooking Class at Ciudad

It’s a fabulous South American fiesta with “Too Hot Tamales” Mary Sue Milliken and Susan Feniger, featuring the bold flavors of Peru, Chile, Brazil, and beyond! Join Mary Sue and Susan as they delve into such culinary controversies as who really invented the Pisco Sour--Peru or Chile--and where is the true birthplace of ceviche--Ecuador, Peru, or Arabia?

For only $75, this demonstration-style cooking class includes a multi-course lunch at Mary Sue and Susan’s Downtown Los Angeles restaurant Ciudad, as well as signature cocktails and a recipe booklet.

The menu includes an exciting variety of South American flavors like Peruvian Ceviche marinated in lime, ginger, and aji amarillo chile, as well as Brazilian Seafood Moqueca and Argentine Gaucho Steak. And to top it all off, a shot of Venezuelan Spiced Hot Chocolate and some sinfully delicious Ecuadorian Banana Bread Pudding with dulce de leche.
