Residents of Arlington with a penchant for culinary adventure have an appetizing series to look forward to at the East Library and Recreation Center. In a series of cooking workshops open to the public, participants aged 13 and up have the chance to roll up their sleeves and learn the art of crafting traditional dishes, with a different cultural specialty featured each week.
The workshops kick off on September 14 with a "Conchas" baking class, followed by sessions on "Spanish Empanadas" and "Tamales" on the subsequent Wednesdays. An instructor will be present to help guide attendees through the process of making these dishes, which they can then take home. It's a tempting opportunity not only to pick up some new kitchen skills but also to savor the fruits of one's labor.
According to the Arlington Parks and Recreation, all supplies will be provided for the workshops, and participants merely need to bring their enthusiasm and appetite. For those under 16, adult supervision is required to ensure a family-friendly environment and to help navigate the nuances of culinary creation.
