What you can expect

  • Discover the secrets of Argentine cuisine in this hands-on cooking class, hosted in my home in a quiet residential area of Buenos Aires.

    You'll be welcomed with alfajores and mate, our traditional infusion, and I'll share the rituals that surround them. Then we’ll start off with the cooking class: I'll teach you how to make empanadas from scratch, both the dough and the filling. While we cook, we'll enjoy a classic picada — an Argentine charcuterie board — to nibble on as we cook. Once the food is ready, we'll sit down together to enjoy the meal we've prepared, paired with a glass of Malbec and good conversation, and finish with a classic Argentine dessert.

    I'll guide you every step of the way, sharing the techniques, the history behind each dish, and the regional traditions that shape Argentine cooking. By the end of the class, you'll take home a recipe booklet so you can recreate what you've learnt in your own kitchen.

    This is an excellent opportunity to discover how locals live and pick up insider tips on great places to visit and eat in the city. You'll spend a relaxed day in the comfort of a local's cosy home in a beautiful residential area, inside Buenos Aires' first certified Passive House.

    Sustainability and health are at the heart of what I do, and I care deeply about the details. I carefully source ingredients produced through sustainable, environmentally respectful practices that also protect our health and ensure dignified working conditions for the people behind them. The beef is grass-fed, the eggs come from pasture-raised hens, the vegetables are seasonal, local, and organic, and the flour, oil, cheese, wine, and other staples are organic as well. Every ingredient that reaches your plate has been chosen with intention.
