Louie Estrada Teaches His Flan Recipe | Startup Cuba TV
We did it. And by we, I mean Louie Estrada. Louie taught the world to flan. And, for a brief moment, all was well. 
It was officially the new second best night of my life — dozens of people making flan at one time, live on Zoom. With Chef Louie as the conductor, we were like a flan orchestra. In sync until the end, at which point of course we all grabbed our flans and devoured them.
By now, if you’ve read our other posts about Louie, you’ll know who he is and why we’re such big fans. Louie Estrada is the Chef/Owner of My Cuban Spot in Gowanus, Brooklyn. He’s one of NYC’s hottest new chefs, seen in everything from the New York Times, Buzzfeed, NY Eater and Beat Bobby Flay on the Food Network. Louie’s also joined on us on more than one occasion to teach our audience how to cook.
Last month it was Ropa Vieja. And, now for something flantastic. Flantacular. Flanazing. This was a live class so the replay of the full flan lesson and instructions are in the video above, and the recipe and ingredients are below.
