Miami Cuban Cooking Class in Little Havana with Annette & Aurora

The journey, in full

Step into Annette and Aurora’s welcoming Little Havana home for a private and authentic Cuban cooking class in Miami that blends food, culture, and storytelling. Begin with tropical sangria and Cuban finger foods while learning about Aurora’s childhood in Cuba and the cultural roots of Cuban cuisine, influenced by Spanish, African, and Caribbean traditions. During this hands-on experience, prepare classic dishes like crispy tostones and ropa vieja, along with refreshing mojitos (unlimited!) made from scratch. Then sit down together to enjoy a family-style Cuban meal featuring yuca, salad, Cuban bread, slow-cooked beans, and dessert, followed by Cuban coffee. To reflect traditional home cooking, certain elements of the meal, like the beans and dessert, are traditionally prepared in advance using time-honored techniques. You’ll leave with recipes, a small gift, and a deeper understanding of Cuban culture and culinary traditions in Little Havana. Ideal for families, corporate team-building events, or bachelorette parties, this Little Havana cooking class offers a memorable way to connect with Miami’s Cuban culture and cuisine. Your host is happy to accommodate vegetarian, lactose-free, gluten-free, and kosher dietary needs. Vegan menus are more limited, so unfortunately, this experience may not be suitable for vegan guests. Notes: This experience requires a minimum of six guests, or payment equivalent to six guests if your group is smaller.
