What a fantastic experience. Chef Patricio and his wife are so friendly and welcome you into their home as friends. Such a relaxing environment. Chef Patricio explains the history of various dishes as we made them. The food was so fresh and so delicious. We highly recommend this cooking experience!

A thoroughly pleasant afternoon :)

Robin_A, Feb 2026

We were fortunate enough to have a private cooking class for just the two of us with Patricio—and it was just a delight. The master himself is just a wonderful person to chat to and learn from: patient, funny, and clear. We learned how to make four Chilean dishes, all very different, and all delicious, alongside a “melvin” cocktail we will make sure to replicate in the UK the next time the mercury rises—and several glasses of crisp wine. The entire experience was casual yet instructive, and I’d recommend it to anyone who is even mildly interested in cooking. A truly wonderful way to spend a day in Santiago.

An Unforgettable Culinary Journey in Santiago: Cooking with Patricio And Jennifer

Heather_S, Jul 2024

Our culinary adventure in Santiago was an absolute delight! Promptly at 12:30, a driver picked us up from our hotel in downtown Santiago and whisked us away to the charming suburban home of Patricio and Jennifer. Upon arrival, we were greeted warmly by Patricio, whose welcoming demeanor set the tone for the day. His beautiful teaching and prep kitchen was the perfect setting, complemented by the soothing strains of coffee house jazz playing in the background. The experience began with Patricio teaching us how to make a Pichuncho Manhattan, a delightful cocktail that immediately made us feel at ease and right at home. With drinks in hand, we embarked on a culinary journey that was both educational and incredibly enjoyable. Patricio’s abundant patience and sense of humor were evident as he guided our 14-year-old son through the cooking process. My husband and I were able to both participate and relax, thoroughly enjoying watching our son and Patricio create a spectacular 4-course meal. The dishes we prepared together included: 1. **Churrasca; Chancho en Piedra**: a traditional Chilean flatbread, and Chancho en Piedra is a rustic, flavorful tomato and garlic sauce that pairs perfectly with it. So delicious! I will definitely try to make this at home. 2. **Flacas de Merluza Austral, Locos, Ostiones y Salicornias**: This dish featured delicate fillets of Southern hake with abalones, scallops and samphire , creating a delightful seafood medley. We made a citrus sauce with lime juice, mandarin orange juice, garlic, olive oil, and spices. Very gourmet. Doubt I can find all the ingredients at home, but quite a treat. 3. Chicken Plata Reina: chicken dish, beautifully seasoned and cooked to perfection, with a romaine base, avocado, topped with chicken embodying the rich flavors of Chilean cuisine. 4. Chile Lava Cake: A decadent desser was the perfect end to our meal. Patricio’s warm and engaging teaching style was a hit with our son. His wife Jennifer was an amazing hostess—she helped us with the prep and clean up helping everything to run seamlessly and effortlessly for such an elaborate meal. He instructed my son on everything from knife safety to the finer points of food preparation including gorgeous playing , all while maintaining a relaxed and playful atmosphere. Throughout the meal, we enjoyed our cocktails along with a delicious Semillon/Chardonnay white wine Chilean blend , followed by a robust local Chilean red wine, each perfectly complementing the courses. Overall, we had a relaxed and wonderful time. The entire experience was outstanding, and we cannot recommend Patricio and Jennifer highly enough. Our cooking lesson was an absolute treat and a highlight of our time in Santiago, Chile. Such fun!

A very happy "sanguche!"

Amy_T, Sep 2023

If you're looking for a unique experience and something to remember your trip to Santiago by, cooking with Patricio checks all the boxes. We listened to music and drank carmenere in a casual setting while we learned to make (and eat!) a traditional meal - a palta york and pasta cardinal appetizer, chacarero sanguche and sopaipilla pasades en chancaca sauce for dessert. Our stomachs were full of good food and friendship when it was time to leave. We will always remember our experience with Patricio and would recommend it for a couple or group to do while in Santiago.

Response from Host, Sep 2023

Ease and Recipes in Chile

Melissa_F, Sep 2023

This was a fantastic experience to have for a few hours on our last day in Chile. A traditional Chilean cocktail (Pichuncho), an avocado starter, a chacarero chileno sandwich with a bottle of Maipo Valley red wine and a Chilean pumpkin sopaipilla dessert was perfection. Chef Patricio and his wife Jennifer were the consummate food guides and hosts and we appreciated the ease of the day as if were were in their home kitchen.

Cooking with Jennifer in Santiago

camcam, Jan 2023

Jennifer was wonderful. We arrived early, but she willingly offered to start the class ahead of time. We started with a Pisco Sour which was a treat as we hadn't had one yet. We then moved on through 4 different courses and learned the cultural background of the various dishes. It was a great treat and she was very helpful as we tried to get back to our hotel.

Fantastic fun cooking class

Karen R, Nov 2019

My husband and I did this great tour. We met the group ( five of us) and the chef at the Mercado market, then toured the flower market and fruit/veggie market. We got fresh ingredients, then took taxi to the cooking area. Really fun for over 4 hours. We made pisco sours, empanadas, salad, dessert. We drank lots of great wine and learned about their origins. The chef Gerardo and his staff were so much fun. We have been to Santiago previously. This ranks as the most fun thing we have done there. Highly recommend
