      This experience was great, I felt like a kid when I used to help my grandmother cook our favorite things. Empanadas are a perfect and traditional food. Loved learning the techniques. Lots of fun. Highly recommended. Debra was sweet and very friendly.

      Yum!!! What a fantastic...

      Amy_B, Dec 2025
      Yum!!! What a fantastic way to learn about the empanadas! Debi welcomed us into her childhood home and shared how to make empanadas. We learned about the history as well as prepping/cooking tips as well. The empanadas turned out lovely. I will be taking home this experience and will be enjoying it again and again with my family and friends. - better than any souvenir/gift that I could get them or myself. When I travel, I want to have experiences, not just check off on a list sights I have seen. If you are like me, do not hesitate to sign up!

      We had a great time...

      We had a great time making empanadas and drinking mate. Debbie made it feel like we were just visiting our friend in Buenos Aires.

      Loved this empanada/San Telmo experience. Debi the host was generous and I had a glimpse of real life in SanTelmo.

      Beth_M, Nov 2025
      I thoroughly enjoyed this experience. It was wonderful to be welcomed into an old apartment where the family lives in San Telmo. Debi the host was just lovely and the empanadas delicious. I thoroughly recommend the relaxed and enjoyable cooking experience.

      A place of the heart to learn empanadas

      Elisa_M, Jan 2026
      Debi welcomes you directly to her house, making you feel right away as if you were a friend invited for a dinner among acquaintances. The atmosphere is convivial, warm and relaxed. You really learn how to prepare empanadas step by step, having fun and sharing the moment with the other participants. An authentic experience, curated and made with the heart. Highly recommended!
