La Cocina de Loisaida

La Cocina de Loisaida is a series of hands-on cooking classes where we celebrate the rich cultural traditions of Puerto Rican cuisine.

Essex Market

Longtime Lower East Side resident and local caterer Maria Bido shares the recipes and techniques passed down by her abuela, all based in authentic Puerto Rican flavors and ingredients from Essex Market. Each month we’ll explore a new batch of family favorites, including Maria’s flawless arroz con pollo, street food from a classic cuchifritos, and -- as the holidays near -- festive favorites like pasteles and tres leches.In this class on Wednesday, December 15th, it's time to say -- feliz Navidad! Now here’s a holiday menu worth celebrating: Don’t shy away from making these traditional dishes at home -- chef Maria Bido shows us how to prep ahead and make a stress-free feast, including:<ul><li>Pásteles (Malanga/Cassava Masa Wrapped in Green Bananas)</li><li>Arroz con Gándules (Rice with Pigeon Peas)</li><li>Pérnil (Roasted Pork Shoulder)</li></ul>The class will be approximately 1.5 hours long and include time to savor the dishes you prepare together as a group.
