Bernadotte was a great host and showed up how to make some amazing dishes and drinks that I’ll definitely be making when I return home. Highly recommend.

Authentic Chilean Cooking.

Gregory_J, May 2026

We had a wonderful time with chef Gregory. He showed us how to make our own empanadas the traditional way plus several other dishes and drinks. Was a wealth of knowledge of Chile and looking cooking. I loved to cook and he taught me the proper way to cut and make somethings I do all the time. Shared his insights into the rest of the country and helped us plan our other activities. Was very welcoming and our group had a great time together.

Response from Host, May 2026

Thank you for such a warm review. We are delighted Gregory made the class feel authentic, welcoming, and full of useful techniques 🇨🇱 Cheers, Maira from Cook in Fiesta

Fun, delicious and educational break from the usual city sights

Brian_A, Mar 2026

The evening at Chef Bernardita’s home kitchen was excellent. She was a great, engaging, energetic host that you could tell had so much experience and knowledge to share with us. Every bit tasted great - the palta reinas, empanadas, pisco sours, all of it. We got to learn a bit about Chile and how to take some of this trip home with us, which is what we really hoped for. Bernardita was also nice enough to share the pictures she took of us “in action” and the fun Spotify playlist she made to expose us to Chilean music while we worked. Worth the price of admission and the ~1 hour it took us to make our way to her from the heart of Santiago!

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Thank you so much, Bernardita will be thrilled to hear the evening was everything you hoped for. We love that you enjoyed the playlist and the extra touches too. 🎶 Cheers, Maira from Cook in Fiesta

Great time. Can't wait to make these recipes again!

Rae_S, Mar 2026

Incredible time learning techniques and making delicious Chilean food (an entire meal and dessert) and two traditional Chilean cocktails (pisco sour and borgoña). I went solo but still had a great time with my small group! Everyone was friendly and fun. Chef Gregory was kind and helpful and offered a little Chilean history and recommendations for things to do and places to visit while in Santiago. I'm so glad I had a chance to do this activity. Everyone else Ubered to/from the class, but I took the bus from my hotel and had no trouble finding the place. Although I live in New York City, so I'm fluent in public transportation.

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Incredible to hear you had such a great solo experience, and that Gregory made the evening fun, helpful, and full of great Chilean flavors. We’re so glad you got to join us. 🍷 Cheers, Maira from Cook in Fiesta

Cooking with Laughter and Fun

Ann_E, Feb 2026

Bernardita Ruffinelli was our Chef, and she was fabulous!!! We had a great time learning to make a three course meal and one drink!! The class was held in her personal kitchen. The outdoor table was beautifully set. Drinks were unlimited and excellent. I would highly recommend this cooking class!!! Her English language skills are excellent.

Response from Host, Feb 2026

Bernardita’s homey setup and relaxed pacing make for those memorable, hands-on evenings — glad the drinks flowed and the kitchen felt welcoming. Thanks for the wonderful recommendation! 🍷 Cheers, Maira from Cook in Fiesta
