Class sign-ups are now available!

Difficulty: Intermediate*

*Octopus can be tricky to get right, and getting it right is exactly what this class is about!

Join Chef José for an evening of bold Peruvian flavours and hands-on cooking in the heart of Edmonton. You'll learn to prepare authentic Peruvian octopus dishes from scratch: discovering the techniques, balance, and fresh ingredients that make these dishes so powerful.

The evening begins at Otto Food & Drink with a chance to meet your fellow food lovers before diving into the two-hour cooking workshop. We will guide you through everything you need to know to bring these dishes to life:

• Maracuyá sour — a passion fruit twist on the classic pisco sour
• Pulpo al olivo — octopus finished with purple olives and served with potatoes cooked Peruvian style
• Causa limeña — a classic cold Peruvian starter made with layers of yellow mashed potato seasoned with ají amarillo chili, filled with chicken or tuna, and finished with avocado and mayonnaise

You'll leave with a copy of the recipes and guidance on where to find the ingredients locally so you can bring these flavours home.

Arrive hungry, bring a good attitude, and get ready to learn the flavours of Peru!

¡Buen provecho!
