MasterClass Announces 3-Part Series: Food, Stories, and Connections With José Andrés

The award-winning chef and humanitarian brings members on a rich exploration of food, including the origins of iconic dishes and the joys of communal cooking

SAN FRANCISCO, June 10, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- MasterClass, the streaming platform where anyone can learn from the world's best, today announced that globally acclaimed chef and humanitarian José Andrés will teach a three-part Original Series on the importance of understanding each other through food and using it to bring people together. The class is available now exclusively on MasterClass, where subscribers have unlimited access to all 200+ instructors with an annual membership.

In this class, Andrés will share the history and stories behind some of his favorite dishes, teaching members the significance that food has had in bringing together different groups over generations. The series breaks the mold of traditional how-to cooking tutorials, inviting members to discover how food is meant to be shared, rejoiced over and used as a connection point. Andrés, alongside nine esteemed guests, will explore culinary traditions and discuss the influences that have shaped some iconic American dishes. Members will learn how to bake a pie fit for the White House, make dishes with deep cultural roots, and appreciate the many ways the immigrant-influenced culinary movement continues to thrive.

"Food has an incredible way of bringing people together. That's why I'm always talking about building longer tables—because there is no better way to experience and celebrate our differences than by sharing a meal," Andrés said. "The recipes we make are full of rich history and stories, all we need to do is listen. My new class on MasterClass will take members back through history and help them embrace the power of food to connect with family and friends."

Andrés, an internationally acclaimed chef, restaurateur, and humanitarian, is renowned for his culinary innovation, advocacy for food sustainability, and philanthropic endeavors. With a career spanning decades, he has garnered widespread recognition for his diverse portfolio of award-winning restaurants across the globe, each offering unique dining experiences that celebrate the rich tapestry of flavors and cultures.
