The Empanada Masterclass. From Spain to our tables! Empanadas have a rich and diverse history that spans centuries and continents. Originating in Spain, these savory pastries were brought to Latin America by Spanish colonizers during the Age of Exploration. The word "empanada" comes from the Spanish verb "empanar," which means to wrap or coat in bread. We will be learning the making of the dough and filling, and will be trying a couple of varieties. We will be exploring the history of European cuisine and cultures, using Empanada making as our main focus.

I had the pleasure of planning the Birthday party of my husband Jim, and Chef Carlos gave us his A+ game recently and it was an absolutely delightful experience. The food was expertly crafted, beautifully presented, and bursting with flavor. Chef Carlos’ passion for cooking was evident in every bite, and his attention to detail was truly impressive. The service was impeccable and the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. I can't wait to go back and try more of Carlos’ delicious creations. Highly recommend it!

Hiring Chef Carlos as our personal chef was the best decision we ever made! From the moment he walked into our home, we knew we were in for a treat. His culinary skills are unmatched, and each meal he prepared for us was a true masterpiece. He walked us through the history of the food, the regions of the world where his food originated, and he made the evening unforgettable for my party of 12. Not only is Chef Carlos incredibly talented in the kitchen, but he is also a joy to be around. His friendly and professional demeanor made the whole experience even more enjoyable. We felt like royalty dining on his gourmet creations in the comfort of our own home. Thank you, Chef Carlos, for making our evenings so special with your amazing cooking!

I don't usually go for fancy catering services, but I have to say, the experience with Chef Carlos’ services was absolutely amazing. The food was just like grandma used to make - hearty, flavorful, and made with love. Him and his staff were friendly and down-to-earth, making us feel right at home. The presentation was rustic and charming, perfectly fitting the country theme. I was blown away by the quality of the food and the service. I'll definitely be recommending him and his team to all my friends and family for their next event. It was a taste of home, away from home, just as requested." Cathy Janco, 2024.
