Catalina was so informative and welcoming! We really enjoyed learning how to cook with her and the experience was so relaxing and fun. We would 100% recommend to a friend. Communication with the host was easy too via what’s app and they contact you a few days before your tour. Highly recommend this experience and ask for Catalina!

A fun and delightful cooking experience

My son and I had a wonderful time. Katarina made the process so easy and understandable. I had never thought about trying to make empanadas myself. Now I can’t wait to try making them. In addition she gave us a wealth of information about Argentina, its culture, and places to visit in Buenos Aires. The wine pairings were wonderful too!

Fun empanada making experience!

Watch Someone Make An Empanada

Next to no hands-on when making the empanadas. You chop 1 onion and watch the host season. You do get to fold the empanadas, but the company even uses premade pastry from the grocery store.

Response from Host, Jan 2023

Very friendly staff. The location was inviting, clean, and added to the experience. The recipe we learned is wonderful. We have recreated them now several times. Highly recommend to couples or small groups. Great conversation. Extremely friendly. It is obviously that they sincerely enjoy sharing their culture.

I heartily recommend this...

I heartily recommend this experience, especially with our "guides" Hernan and David. It was hands on, informative , fun and delicious. I really look forward to making my own empanadas, especially because it will remind me of this great day.

Great experience

The experience was great! Empanadas super tasty and the guide was very nice and fun to talk to. Hopefully we'll get the recipe soon so we could make our own empanadas:)
