Coquito and pastelillos (also known as empanadas) are a staple for Puerto Ricans. Coquito is only made during the holidays much like the eggnog. Pastelillos is everyone's favorite gustito (appetizer) all year round.  In our LIVE class, we will show a short presentation of Navidad en Puerto Rico.  Then make our famous Coquito Lite recipe (which starred in Miami Herald Newspaper and The Sporkful with Dan Pashman).  Then we will make two versions of baked pastelillos one with ground beef for the carnivores and a dessert version for vegetarians. Conclude the class with a Q & A and lots of giggles.  Puerto Ricans are diverse people, and our food speaks for itself. Our combination of flavors, spices, and passion will make you want to dance and yell WEPA!
