Chef Marco Zapien knows that schedules are tight.
From soccer practice to the cleaners to gymnastics, families are being pulled in many directions, and most people think coming together for a meal at home takes time, too much time.
However, Chef Marco Zapien has put together some of his famous recipes and tricks to show how simple dishes such as Cilantro Caesar Salad and Chile Verde can be made from home, delicious and quick.
Saturday, March 13 Chef MZ will host his first cooking demo at his restaurant, The Salsa Grill in Pico Rivera, Ca from 3-6 p.m. The class is open to men and women 18 and up. Chef MZ will host four more classes in 2010; one in April, July, September and November.
“My goal is to give participants the confidence and tips to create dishes, which seem too complex, on their own,” said Chef MZ. “I want to share what I know and give them something to take back to their own kitchens.”
Participants will learn to cook four starters; fresh Guacamole, grilled Mango Pico de Gallo, Potato & Chorizo soup, and Cilantro Caesar Salad. Chef MZ will demo two entrees and restaurant favorites, Chile Verde or Chile Rellenos, and for dessert, warm Bread Pudding with Caramel sauce.
The demo is for three hours as Chef MZ will break down each item’s ingredients, share tips and expose some of his secret ways of adding spice.
Recipes will be provided by Chef MZ for each person to take home.
