About This Activity
On the menu: Puerto Rican style “Espaguetis” is a variation of what we may know as the typical Italian American spaghetti recipe. This recipe will include a Puerto Rican foundation which will give it its particular taste. The particular recipe we will make together was published April, 2021 in Chicago Magazine issue “Noodle Nirvana.” Roberto Pérez is a chef, musician, and researcher of Afro-Caribbean traditions. He is one of the founding members of acclaimed Afro-Puerto Rican music group, Bomba con Buya, and the co-founder of the educational culinary initiative, Urban Pilón. Urban Pilón is a culinary movement with a mission: to honor and preserve cooking traditions from Puerto Rico, the Caribbean, and Latin America, while using completely natural, healthy ingredients. With this mission in mind, Roberto serves not only as chef, but as storyteller, sharing the stories of our ancestors through his cooking, classes, and demonstrations. His popular Caribbean cooking courses showcase these stories by teaching both classic and original recipes along with the history behind them.
