The Menu

Causa Limeña with Shrimp Salad
(can be made vegetarian/vegan)
Cocktail: PUNCH Me Pisco

I am so excited to finally have a Peruvian class! This one will be taught by Chef Arnaldo Castillo, of La Chingana in Atlanta. La Chingana is a Peruvian tasting menu pop-up that pops up a few times a month. In September, Eater Atlanta included La Chingana in their list of The 15 Hottest New Restuarants in Atlanta Right Now. Chef Arnaldo is from Peru, and he has lived in Atlanta since he was a young child. He has worked under chefs Sean Brock and Hugh Acheson. Now he is focusing full-time on La Chingana and hopefully soon he can turn it into his dream restaurant.

We will be making Causa Limeña with Shrimp Salad. Think of it as a Peruvian Potato salad. Once you know the basics you can adapt it based on what you have or what is in season. Time to start looking for purple potatoes!

We will also be making a pisco punch, that is crushable, piquant, and easy to drink. Sunny Sin, who often photographs Arnaldo’s pop-ups, will be teaching out how to make this crowd pleaser!
