Top Buenos Aires Cooking Classes

Agustin did a fantastic job introducing us to a range of Argentinian wines and providing historical and cultural context for them. Appreciated the inclusion of some varietals and blends (Torrontes, Criollo) that were new to us as US wine-drinkers. Pairings were top-notch. Absolutely recommend.

The small group empanada cooking class was a wonderful experience while traveling through Buenos Aries. Overall this experience was exactly as advertised to bring a cooking experience to tourists with a down to earth and fun way to learn about the culture and enjoy some quiet quality time in the city. Our your guide Mika P. Was excellent from her enthusiasm for teaching us the traditional craft of making empanadas to an in depth overview to the history and cooking style of the people in Argentina. The setting provided made it feel like being just at home where people traveling could feel just at home with eachother in an interpersonal class to make it feel just like cooking with family. Not only was it a great experience, but provided the insight and skills for being able to bring this cooking style home to my own family and friends and to the rest of the world. I definitely would recommend anyone who likes cooking and trying foods from around the world to give it a try if you are in the Buenos Aries, Palermo Soho area!

I loved learning how to cook Argentinean staples (empanadas and chipas). The staff was so friendly and made the process seamless. I was a solo traveler from the US and felt very welcome. Recommend for anyone who likes to learn uncomplicated recipes from where they are traveling.

Our guide was excellent, super knowledgeable on the history and culture of Argentina, with plenty of recommendations all over the city and province. The food was very nice, especially the ice cream. It was plenty of food. Very walkable trip, not super strenuous. Because of the weather and time of year, it also ended up being a private tour! Would recommend.

We were picked up with the van right at our Air BnB. Our guide Veronica spoke perfect English for us. She was knowledgeable and energetic. The van took us to El Tigre where we enjoyed the boat trip around the islands. There was an audio of information in a few languages. We went to a lovely restaurant in El Tigre for a lunch - called a “snack”. It was empanadas and drinks. We then walked a short way to a tourist shopping area with nice furniture, gifts and household accessories. We appreciated being there mid week once there were no hoards of people as on the weekends. Highly recommend Veronica and this day trip.

Love cooking classes! This was no different. Learned to make Empanadas and Alfajores. Great combination. The host was very helpful and very clear in his directions as well as hands on. Both easy to make and I look forward ti making them when I get home. Book it and then look at all the offerings with Signature Tours. They provide lots of great tours.

When we found out we would visit Buenos Aires again after 7 years, we immediately sought out Pachamama for a repeat indoctrination to Argentinean cooking. It was that fun, instructive, and delicious. From hosting this cooking experience in his apartment in 2019 to the new dedicated storefront location in the quiet Las Canitas neighborhood of BA's Palermo district, it was quite a transformation. However, the expertise, flow, and efficiency of the class remained remarkable. Now with two assistants, Franco entertained us for three hours through a full four-course meal which we actually prepared for ourselves. Everyone participated in a meaningful way. Even with seemingly complicated dishes, one had the feeling that there was hope you could re-create each item in your own home. You will come away with pictures, recipes, and good friends from around the world. And you will not need to eat dinner....

Catalina was in touch before the class to check we had all the information we needed. We were a small group (6of us) in a dance studio set above a bar in central BA. Catalina was lovely, she was unhurried and put us all at ease before teaching us the tango, from how the locals dance to the traditional tango. What can you do in one session but amazingly we were all dancing tango around the room by the end of the session. Then we sat, ate some empanadas and drank 2 sorts of wine, and just chatted about life, Buenos Aires and dancing. It was very special. We would definitely recommend this experience.
