What began as a small flan business in her home kitchen blossomed into a full manufacturing operation distributing desserts across seven states. Her flan and Tres Leches cakes earned “Best Flan” and “Best Dessert” awards in Austin, and her creations were served to presidents, governors, and VIPs. Marta now returns to Central Market with a new series of hands-on classes focused on delicious, healthier dishes that let home cooks keep every bit of flavor, culture, and joy intact so you can enjoy vibrant flavors and feel great.Menu:• Picadillo Empanadas with Bright ChimichurriA richly seasoned picadillo-style meat filling tucked into a healthier, easy-to-use alternative shell—no dough-making necessary. These empanadas bake up crisp, aromatic, and deeply satisfying, especially when paired with a fresh herb-and-citrus chimichurri that brings brightness to every bite.• Maduros (Caramelized Sweet Plantains)Sweet, ripe plantains cooked with minimal oil until golden, soft, and irresistibly caramelized. A classic comfort food made lighter—but every bit as delicious.• Dominican Green Salad with Tangy Citrus DressingA refreshing Caribbean-style salad of crisp greens, tomatoes, onions, and creamy avocado, finished with a lively citrus vinaigrette. Bright, simple, and the perfect contrast to richer dishes.• Piña Colada–Inspired Frozen SorbetA refreshing, tropical dessert inspired by the classic pineapple-and-coconut helados sold by street vendors in Puerto Rico. This lighter, spoon able treat captures all the creamy, icy, piña colada flavor you love—without the heaviness—making it the perfect sweet finish to a vibrant meal.
