Summary

This is a unique opportunity to visit the home of a local and explore traditional culture and cuisine. Join Patty in her home kitchen for your Chilean cooking class. The kitchen is large and modern, with an island that allows everyone to congregate easily and cook together. The shelves are heaped with the produce collected from Patty’s garden. Patty can offer you a cooking demonstration or give you a hands-on cooking lesson – just let her know your preference. During your Chilean cooking lesson, Patty will teach you to make dishes that she and her family grew up eating and love, using fresh vegetables and herbs from the garden. As you cook together Patty will tell you about the ingredients she uses and about growing up in the kitchen with her mother and grandmother. Enjoy your meal in this home that is a place of warmth and luxury. Your authentic Chilean menu might include dishes such as pastel de choclo (a casserole similar to shepherd’s pie made with corn and chicken), chupe de mariscos (seafood stew), or cazuela (a typical Chilean soup). Don't miss out on this wonderful experience to get a glimpse of a Chilean home and learn about their culture and cuisine from a local!

Why take this tour?

Enjoy a private and authentic cooking class in a Santiago countryside home in Lampa with your host Patricia (Patty), a skilled cook who loves to entertain. This is a perfect experience for anyone looking to connect with local culture over food. Your cooking class will take place in her local home kitchen where Patty will teach you Chilean dishes from family recipes, using fresh garden produce. After cooking, enjoy your meal together. Patty and her husband Enrique live in a gorgeous, sprawling ranch-style home that boasts a variety of fruit and nut trees, from mandarin to walnut. You will be welcomed with open arms and a bottle of Carménere into a house that is both modern and filled with old-world charm. Patty has a reputation at work for hosting the best dinner parties and as soon as anyone at the office finds out that Patty is cooking over the weekend, they try and weasel their way into an invitation in the hopes of tasting her famous pastel de choclo or her husband’s asado!
