# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Salsa & Strings: Caribbean Night Cooking & Cultural Experience
- **Event Start and End Date**: Tue, 28 Apr, 2026 at 06:30 pm – Tue, 28 Apr, 2026 at 08:30 pm (-05:00)
- **Event Description**: Salsa & Strings: Caribbean Night is what happens when Taco Tuesday widens the lens a little. Same hands-on format, same lively energy, but big island flavors.

We’ll make ropa vieja — slow-cooked, shredded beef simmered with tomatoes, peppers, and spices — and mofongo, a Puerto Rican dish of mashed fried plantains mixed with garlic and olive oil. Alongside that, coconut rice and a bright, fresh mango-cucumber salad. For dessert, we’re creating something delicious from passionfruit. 

This class is fully hands-on. You’ll chop, sauté, mash, season, and taste as you go.  We’ll build the meal together and then sit down to enjoy it — inside the kitchen or outside in our gazebo if the weather cooperates.

After dinner, your chef-instructor will put down the knives, pick up his violin, and serenade you with Latin and Caribbean music to close the evening.

No rhythm required — just good food, good music, and a night that feels a little different from the usual.

Still Taco Tuesday. Just less… taco-y. Still very Tuesday-y.
