The arepa is more than just a dish; it’s a cultural icon—a golden, gluten-free corn pocket that serves as the perfect canvas for bold flavors. Join Chef Yohalex as he shares his authentic family techniques for mixing, shaping then roasting, baking or frying the perfect arepa. We’ll explore the tradition of the Rellena (filled arepa), featuring a spread of succulent beef, zesty chicken, and vibrant plant-based options for vegetarians and vegans alike. Whether it’s a sunrise breakfast or a late-night post-dance craving, you’ll learn why the arepa is the heart of the Venezuelan and Colombian table. We’ll enjoy some Latin small bites and a sweet dessert to go along with your arepas.
