Join us at the Arlington Heights Makerplace Kitchen to learn how to make arepas — are they from Venezuela or Colombia? That’s always up for debate! 😄These delicious cornmeal cakes are naturally gluten-free and can easily be made dairy-free. Explore the rich culinary traditions of both countries with guidance from a local Venezuelan-Colombian community member, who will share her technique, culture, and even a few Spanish words along the way. ¡Delicioso! Don’t miss it!

Space is limited. Culinary classes are designed for adults 18+ and limited to one class per month, per Arlington Heights cardholder. Register any time from September 3 at 9 a.m. to September 4 at 8:59 a.m. to join the lottery for a chance to attend. Individuals will be chosen at random and notified by email on September 4.

The Makerplace kitchen is not a nut-free, gluten-free, or other allergy free environment.
