Enjoy a Private Empanada Cooking Lesson with a Local in her Belgrano Home

This is a unique opportunity to visit the home of a local and explore traditional culture and cuisine. Join your local host Gabriela and her friend Patricia at her apartment centrally located in the Belgrano neighborhood of Buenos Aires for your traditional empanada cooking lesson. Over a welcome glass of wine or beer, enjoy a picada – a traditional Argentinian platter of cheeses, jams, and nuts – on Gabriela’s large balcony.

Next, join Gabriela in her kitchen for your hands-on cooking lesson. Learn how to best prepare meat as Gabriela shares her secrets for how to perfect the empanada filling. You will learn to prepare three different fillings, perhaps a chicken and leek, zucchini and cheese, and the traditional Argentinian cheese and jam filling. After cooking, enjoy your empanadas served alongside a fresh salad. End your meal with a dessert of chocotorta, a traditional Argentinian layered chocolate cake or dulce de leche, served with coffee or tea.

If you choose the market tour + cooking option, Gabriela takes you on a private tour of the local Belgrano market. This is where chefs shop and where you will discover, sample, and purchase meat and regional produce for your class.

Enjoy a private and authentic cooking class in a local Buenos Aires home with your host Gabriela, a Buenos Aires native. This is a perfect experience for anyone looking to connect with local culture over food. Your cooking class will take place in Gabriela's local home kitchen where she will teach you how to make the most traditional Argentinian dish, empanadas, with a variety of fillings. After cooking, you will enjoy your meal together in your hosts' beautiful Buenos Aires apartment centrally located in the Belgrano neighborhood.
