Good fun

This was fun and the food was so good. I just wish we were each able to need our own dough for alfajores and the space is quite tight

Paulo was so patient and kind! Really made us feel comfortable and was so knowledgeable about so many aspects of Argentina. We learned a lot! It was an absolutely wonderful experience for my sister and me. I would definitely recommend doing this experience, not matter how much cooking experience you have!! Thank you! :-)
