What to eat and drink in Miami
Classes here usually build the menu around local dishes. Ones to look for:
- Cuban sandwich
- Pressed bread filled with roast pork, ham, Swiss cheese, pickles and mustard.
- Ceviche
- Raw fish 'cooked' in lime juice with onion, chilli and coriander.
How to pick a good cooking class
- Check whether you cook every dish yourself or watch a demonstration. Hands-on classes usually cap groups at 10 to 12.
- Morning classes often start with a market walk to buy ingredients; afternoon ones go straight to the kitchen.
- Tell the host about allergies or a vegetarian diet when you book, not on the day.
- Look for a class that sends the recipes home with you, so you can cook them again.
