Brunch Tapas of Latin America For some reason, brunch seems to be one of the less common social get-together formats. We more often have cookouts and dinner or cocktail parties, but brunch has a lot going for it: you don’t have to get up extra early or go to bed late, serving liquor is definitely optional, a sunny setting adds to people’s good mood, and the dress code is usually not fussy. On your next casual hosting occasion, whether your guests are “just” your closest family or a medium-sized group of friends, why not offer brunch with a Latin American flair to the menu? Join Chef Yary in this hands-on class to make and enjoy: Cuba: Huevos Cubanos – perfectly poached egg over mushroom, saffron & chorizo sofrito sauce, served with grilled bread Peru: Papas a las Huancaína – spicy, creamy potatoes with seared shrimp and garnished with crispy pancetta Colombia: Arepa de Quesito con Leche Cortada – cheese arepa topped with sweet, curdled milk and queso fresco Served with Cava or Sangria
