Dear Friends,

FANDANGO Catering has been invited to teach a Spanish cooking class at Rice University on May 8, 2010, 3-6pm.

Our Executive Chef Jesús Lumbreras-Calvo, a Madrid native and Scottsdale Culinary Institute graduate, will lead participants in a delicious culinary journey through Spanish regional cooking. This is the first time a Spanish chef has been invited to Rice and we are honored.

-Solomillo a los dos pimentones (Pork Tenderloin with Sweet and Hot Spanish Paprika, Galicia) con Salsa de naranja y nata (with Orange Cream Sauce, Aragón)
-Patatas al Jerez (Sherried Potatoes, Andalucía)

We are grateful to the Casa de España de Houston for organizing this class and especially to Dr. Victoria Arbizu-Sabater, Casa de España President and Rice faculty member, and David McDonald, Rice Catering Director.
