Top Argentina Cooking Classes

My husband, mother in law andI took a cooking class at Argentina Experience in Palermo today, and it may have been our favorite cooking class ever! We’ve participated in cooking classes in many different countries over the years, so that’s saying a lot. The experience was intimate, with just nine participants plus our chef, which made it feel personal and engaging. Our chef was fantastic—knowledgeable, entertaining, and incredibly fun. He made sure everyone was involved and having a great time from start to finish. During the class, we learned how to make flan, beef and mushroom empanadas, a delicious salsa, and alfajores. In addition to the dishes we prepared ourselves, the team treated us to amazing ribeye steaks and potatoes that were absolutely delicious. We also made a wonderful cocktail and enjoyed white and red wine pairings throughout the dining experience. As an added bonus, it was my husband’s birthday, and the staff went out of their way to make him feel special by surprising him with some beer, which he loved! The entire experience lasted about four hours, and my best advice is to come hungry, you will be eating the whole time and everything is fantastic. Between the food, drinks, hands-on cooking, and wonderful atmosphere, this was one of the highlights of our trip to Buenos Aires. I highly recommend Argentina Experience to anyone visiting Buenos Aires. Whether you love cooking or simply want a fun and memorable way to experience Argentine food and culture, this class is not to be missed!

This was such a fun tour. There was chance to get hands on with all parts of the cooking process. Sylvia had great knowledge of the history, food and fantastic wine selection. Sylvia was so welcoming, fun and great company which made the experience amazing and so worthwhile

Taking a cooking class at Pachamama Argentine Cooking Experience was one of the highlights of my time in Buenos Aires. The class was incredibly well organized, fun, and very hands-on from start to finish. We started with a welcome snack while learning about the history of Argentine cuisine, which set the tone for the experience. Then we rolled up our sleeves and cooked several traditional dishes together, including chipá, regional empanadas, humita, and a delicious dulce de leche dessert. Everything was explained clearly, and the instructors made it easy and enjoyable even if you’re not an experienced cook.  What I loved most was the atmosphere. The group was small and interactive, so it felt more like cooking with friends than taking a class. The instructors were knowledgeable, funny, and shared lots of tips about Argentine food and culture along the way.  At the end we all sat down together to enjoy the meal we prepared, paired with wine, which made it feel like a true Argentine dining experience. It was a great way to meet other travelers while enjoying fantastic food.  If you’re visiting Buenos Aires and want something memorable to do, I highly recommend this class. It’s a fun way to learn about the country’s cuisine and leave with recipes you can actually recreate at home.

This is a relaxed group cooking experience, not intense or difficult. It is a lot of fun whilst also being very informative. We made delicious beef empanades and traditional alfajores (much better than shop purchased mass produced ones). You learn a lot about the different techniques, ingredients and history behind them; and the regional variations. The wine pairings were excellent and showcased the great flavours of Argentine Malbec and Torrontes wines. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience and would highly recommend it to anyone seeking an introduction to these two famous Argentine home cooked foods.

Bertie and Aby were great! The wine and food complemented each other wonderfully. They gave us a nice history of Argentine regions and why certain grapes are grown where. We had great conversation about travels and other subjects. This is a must do while in Buenos Aires!

such a wonderful time I had, the food was so delicious and the wine exquisite, Sasha was so professional friendly and welcome us so well it felt like going to friends barbecue, it is a pleasure experience where u have authentic argentinian asado and meet people from different countries. I totally recommend this experience 100%.

Our guide, Andres, was terrific. He was very knowledgeable and was really prepared. He also gave us some options by ending our tour at a restaurant he recommended that was excellent. We learned a lot about the places we visited. We all had a great day.

Authentic, homemade argentinian asado, great hospitality, the nicest hosts and delicious food with high quality fresh ingredients. Step by step explanation is provided in the preparation and execution of the recipes and the asado, including the start of the fire, times and temperatures of the different meats and sharing their traditions. It is a relaxed environment and a superb gastronomic experience
