Cocina Cayena

I taught several classes in Cayena in Madrid from Mexican to Dim Sum. I also collaborated in their corporate team building cooking events and taught Spanish food to foreigners. At Cayena I also ran the Christmas cookie children’s workshops for the City of Madrid, where we taught thousands of children to make cookies using mobile kitchens.

Chicago Culinary Historians

Here’s the recording of my lecture on Spanish cuisines at the Chicago Culinary Historians:

It was a lot fun, thanks to my good friends from the Department of Cultural Affairs of the City of Chicago, Joanne Relf, Alice Whitaar, Janet Cummings and Merrily Smith for preparing an amazing feast feast of coca (Spanish pizza), stuffed piquillo peppers, Santiago almond cake, tocino de cielo (egg yolk custard).  Also, heartfelt thanks to Anna Cifuentes and Ana Cabral from Fortune Gourmet for providing some hard to find Spanish products.
