Enjoy a fun evening with LA Ruben as he cooks some of his favorite Spanish food for dinner.  His favorite is Cocido but can work with your family's specific tastes!  The experience begins with grocery shopping with Ruben for the ingredients (winner buys), then he will teach the winners how to cook an authentic dinner, and culminate with a fantastic dinner for up to 8 people in the winner's home. Depending on the chosen meal, the ingredients will need to be purchased 2-5 days prior to the dinner to allow for marinating. The date is Saturday, May 18th. Cooking would begin around 3:30-4:00 PM depending on the dish the winner has chosen; some may take 2-3 hours. Enjoy a night full of delicious food and good company!

A few examples of what you could choose from:

• "Cocido Castellano" is a noodle soup, with short and thin angel hair noodles. It is accompanied with garbanzo beans that are cooked very slowly for 2-3 hours in a pot with different meats: ribs that are marinated a few days before, chorizo, bacon and other preparation. This will take about 3 hours to make.


• Spanish Omelet (eggs, potato and onion). Is the most popular meal in Spain.


• Jackets (everybody loves croqetas!) – breadcrumbed and fried rolls of food. Needs to be started 4-5 days before the dinner.


• Postre: chocolate to the Spanish cup (Ruben has chocolate tablets that he brought from Spain to make a cup.)
