Class Description: 
In this fun, hands-on class, I will introduce you to some authentic ingredients and flavors from the Caribbean. I will share helpful techniques on how to make empanada dough as well as flavorful fillings. You will also be guided on how to shape and cook the empanadas. We will also use store bought dough for savory empanadas (Goya discs) and sweet empanadas (Pepperidge Farm’s puff pastry).
