5.00My family had a wonderful cooking experience! Connie and her husband treated us like guests in their home. We cooked and enjoyed a traditional asado with a number of different meats and dishes. I’ve recommended Connie’s cooking experience to friends and plan to book again next time we visit Buenos Aires.
A highlight of our trip.

5.00We recently enjoyed a scrumptious meal and a wonderful evening with Juan and Marina. They reached out before the evening to ensure we were able to find their home. From the moment we arrived at their home they made us feel like special guests and new best friends at the same time. They greeted us with homemade pizza and endless delicious wine. Juan, who is a chef by training, showed us how to prepare empanadas and other appetizers from scratch. We had so much fun getting our hands dirty and kneading the dough. We were taught how to season beef properly and slow cook it on the outside wood and coal barbeque. We sat down to a delicious meal and felt very comfortable in their home. The food was delicious, probably the best beef and pork we have ever eaten and cooked to perfection. It was a highlight of our trip to Argentina and we did not want the evening to end. They made some excellent suggestions for other restaurants and things to do while in town. We very highly recommend this unique experience and we will definitely visit again when we return to Buenos Aires.
Great experience!!

5.00Five friends and family had a great time with Constanza and her husband Manolo. The class was in their home which made it more special. We really enjoyed watching Manolo cook the bbq and we learned a lot about the different cuts of meat and experienced some new tastes. The only drawback was the long distance to their home. Constanza helped guide our taxis. I highly recommend this class.
A true family delicious afternoon!

5.00We traveled to B.A. in December before a trip to Antarctica and arrived on the day Argentina won the world cup. It was such an electric and amazing experience to be there and celebrate victory with the locals. But by far, the best experience we had in B.A. was our time with Connie and her husband, Monolo. They welcomed us into their home and treated us as family. They picked us up at our hotel and returned us with very safe and reliable transportation. Their home is situated in a very safe gated community with amazing architecture of the homes. Their backyard lani setting truly felt like a resort. Inside their kitchen, we donned our aprons and went to work. Corn empanadas were on the menu, and they were absolutly delishus. Connie was patient and educational, and immersed us into the history of Aregentina and their local customs. But then the real show began. Monolo showed us their parrilla and we started to experience a true asado via a cooking technique called a “la parrilla”. Wood fired smokey delish meats included chorizos, steaks, chittlings (which was absolutly amazing) and black pudding. My takeaway was the wonderful local wines they paired the meal with and they also cooked and served and the provoleta cheese, along with baguettes that were perfectly cooked with our meal. Very fair pricing for our experience in a loving home – I highly recommend and will be back again one day--- Thank you, Connie and Monolo !
Wonderful Evening. Felt we were with friends.

5.00Constanza and Manolo were fantastic. We felt genuinely welcomed into an Argentine home. We learned how asado is done right, and we got to participate in every part of the process. It was a wonderful and relaxing evening. Highly recommend.
Incredible cooking and grilling experience outside of Buenos Aires with a friendly Argentine couple!

5.00My boyfriend and I had an amazing time with Constanza and Manolo. We learned how an Argentine asado is setup and how to cook different cuts of meats. We also learned how to make corn empanadas, which I haven’t had before. The recipe was so simple and the empanadas turned out so delicious, I can’t wait to make them when we are back in NYC. Constanza and Manolo were such generous and welcoming hosts. Their home is impeccable. My boyfriend and I learned so much during our time with Constanza and Manolo. This was an unforgettable experience. Thank you!
A magical evening with awesome food

5.00This was probably the best evening we've ever had with another couple learning how to cook authentic Argentinian grilling (Asado) and making empanadas. But best of all was the warm, friendly, and charming couple, Constanza and Manolo, who taught the class in their gorgeous home. Constanza taught us to make empanadas and Manolo demonstrated all of the finer details of Asado grilling, like building the fire, placement of the meats, and putting the embers exactly where needed to perfectly cook everything. Then we sat down at their dinner table with 7 different kinds of meats (beef, pork, sausages and more) and had a feast with this delightful and interesting couple. The evening could not have been better. Manolo was beyond charming and Constanza was adorable and both were outstanding teachers. Many thanks for an evening we'll never forget. It was an extra charge for them to pick us up at our hotel and bring us home afterwards and I highly recommend this option because it makes the evening more relaxing.
