Traditional Argentinean Cooking Class and Home-cooked meal in San Telmo

Summary

This is a unique opportunity to visit the home of a local and explore traditional culture and cuisine. Join Cris and Beto in their central, modest apartment located in San Telmo for a traditional Argentinean cooking class and meal. Cris and Beto have a very small kitchen, so most of the prep work will be done at the dining table and kitchen will be used only for the final cooking. In your 1 hour class, you will learn to prepare two dishes, bifes a la criolla (beef steaks cooked with vegetables) and a coconut and dulce de leche cake. This will be a combination of a demonstration and a hands-on class, due to the space constraints. The prep work at the dining table will be hands-on while the final cooking in the kitchen will be a demo, where you will watch them put the final touches to the dish. Finally, sit down with Cristina and Beto to eat the meal you have cooked. The dishes will be accompanied by wines from different argentine regions (North and Cuyo).
