Full description
Discover the secrets of Argentinian cuisine on this cooking class. I will show you the proper technique to make each dish and explain their history, as well as teaching you about the different culinary traditions in the country. You'll be welcomed with alfajores and "mate", a herby hot beverage, then start your cooking class. Once you arrive at my home, you will taste and learn the rituals surrounding our famous hot beverage "mate" and alfajores. Then we’ll start off with the cooking class: I will teach you how to make empanadas, both the dough and the filling from scratch. After we are done cooking, as a starter we will have a typical picada, consisting of a charcuterie board. Finally, we’ll enjoy the meal we’ve prepared together paired with Malbec red wine and great conversation. You’ll get to try an Argentine classic dessert. I'll accompany you on each and every step of the way, showing you the proper techniques and explaining a little bit of the history of the dishes and the different culinary traditions in the country.

Shir was an amazing host and the cooking class was great. After staying in hostels with lots of backpackers, it was really lovely to spend time with someone born and raised in the city. The food was delicious and Shir was a great teacher. Would definitely recommend to anyone considering!

My friends and I had the most lovely time with Shir at our beautiful home. We really enjoyed the intimate but casual setting, learning about mate traditions and of course, making the most delicious empanadas. One of our favorite activities we've done in Buenos Aires for sure. A must-do! Our empanadas were DELICIOUS. She also served a charcuterie board + wine while we waited for the empanadas to bake and we finished with homemade flan that she made as well.
