"...I had no idea what wasakaka was before this class and now I make it at home. The lechón took time and our host made that time genuinely fun — stories, technique, cold drinks, and a fire that kept everyone gathered around it. When we finally sat down to eat, it was one of those meals where everyone goes quiet for a second because it's actually that good."
