Wonderful cooking class in Buenos Aires

We had a wonderful time with Laura who showed us how to make delicious empanadas and alfajores. The recipe was simple and learned some techniques for cooking authentic local foods. Laura was so warm and kind and easy to follow. We had a wonderful time and plan to return. We will return for her pasta class and asado class! Cheers!
