Join Chef Emilia Montero for an evening of Venezuelan cuisine! Venezuelan culture is rich with a variety of delicious traditional dishes. In this class, we will focus on one of our most beloved foods: Venezuelan empanadas filled with shredded chicken or black beans. These are circular cornmeal dough pieces that we’ll fill with shredded chicken and black beans, and then are fried until golden and crunch time.

You’ll learn how to make a perfectly crispy empanada dough with a delicious flavor. We’ll also enjoy them with Art Cooks’ signature Garlic Sauce, a flavorful Phillip Salad (our own version of coleslaw), and for dessert, a traditional Venezuelan Tres Leches cake.

This class is BYOM – feel free to bring your own margarita, favorite beer, or bottle of wine, especially if it would pair well with the dishes.


About Emilia:

My name is Emilia Montero. I’m Venezuelan, married to Arthur, and we have a daughter named Andrea. I am a Biologist, Neuroscientist, and Chef, as well as the owner and founder of Art Cooks, a family-owned meal prep and catering business specializing in Latin American fusion cuisine. Based in Lexington, we started operations in 2021 and have been sharing our love for food ever since.


This is a cooking demonstration class. While attendees will have a chance to participate by filling and forming empanadas themselves, the majority of the cooking in the class will be conducted by Chef Montero. Attendees will be served a sampling of each dish prepared during class.

Please note: If for any reason a class needs to be cancelled, we will postpone to another date. Refunds will be given to those unable to make the new date.
