What To Expect
Join Mariela for a hands-on Buenos Aires cooking class in her welcoming Palermo home, one of the city’s most vibrant neighborhoods. Learn the secrets of authentic Argentine cuisine as you cook an appetizer, main dish, and a classic local drink such as fernet. Mariela shares her passion for traditional flavors and home-style techniques while guiding you through each step. Because her kitchen is small, some demonstrations may take place in the dining area.

Then, take the bus together to a butcher and a greengrocer to select fresh meat and vegetables for your meal. Once all the ingredients are gathered, return to Mariela’s home for your hands-on cooking class and to enjoy the delicious meal you helped prepare.

5.00Mariela greeted us warmly and welcomed us into her home, which already smelled delicious. We had a traditional Argentinian beverage before heading out for a neighborhood walk to the local bakery, deli and Mercado to purchase items for our lunch. The meat and vegetables were prepared very well and plated in an appealing manner. Dessert and traditional mate made for an enjoyable end to a lingering lunch. One BA experience not to miss. Being in a home and not in a cooking school made all the difference to a unique experience.
