Fantastic empanada and alfajore making experience

Micaela D was fantastic. She was very patient and pleasant. We had such a great experience cooking and eating with her. I highly recommend this experience. Micaela definitely made it worth it. I’m so happy we made this a part of our trip!

Top empanada workshop

It was a really great workshop by Paulo and Valeria. I don't like cooking at all, but they really made me enthusiastic. They take their time and also speak good English. Really recommended if you are in Buenos Aires.

Recommendation!

Had a really fun workshop! They took all the time and Paolo & Valeria were incredibly nice. It was very well prepared and they even changed the schedule when our little daughter was still sleeping in the stroller so they could help later. I would definitely recommend it! It was really very tasty!
