Prep Work Details
Plantains:
Cut the ends off each plantain and use a knife to score the skin lengthwise from top to bottom. Try to cut only through the skin without slicing into the flesh, which will form the tostones. Use your fingers to peel off the tough outer skin and discard it. Cut the plantains into 1-inch pieces. In a bowl, mix together water, minced garlic and fresh lime juice.
Picadillo:
Rinse the capers. Heat oil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
Fennel Salad:
Trim the fennel bulb (save the fronds) and slice it very thinly using a sharp chef’s knife or a mandoline. Add olive oil, lemon juice and zest, then toss well. Chop the fennel fronds and add them to the salad. Season generously with cracked black pepper and kosher salt. Let the salad rest for about 15 minutes to soften the fennel before serving.

Booked the class Serving the Spanish Summer with Chef Legina
We enjoyed cooking a Seafood Paella. Great knowledge and suggestions for substitutions of needed or desired items. We were also impressed that she knew about the history of the dish. Website was not as user friendly but have absolutely no complaints about Chef.

I cooked the most beautiful paella and was so impressed with how it turned out! The class was so wonderful and perfectly tailored to the ingredients I had but also the speed at which my dish was cooking. It was such a wonderful personal experience! I learned so much and all my questions were answered as well as great conversations about our love for food! I highly recommend this class!
