Top Santiago Cooking Classes

What makes our activity unique is that it is born from a family and shared history, in which tradition and passion for Chilean cuisine were transformed into a cultural experience. My sister and I created it with dedication, organizing events and tastings to promote local products and discover the history of our cuisine. She, a chef and journalist, was instrumental as a creator and culinary soul, bringing all her talent to the kitchen. For us, the empanada, with the wonderful recipe of our grandmother, symbolizes the Chilean identity; preparing it is a way to connect with our traditions. The most important thing is to have fun cooking, sharing, learning the secrets of the recipe and enjoying a bit of Chile in every bite.
