Empanadas and Traditional Argentinian Pastry Class with a Local Pastry Chef

Overview

Join Florencia in her Buenos Aires apartment for a traditional Argentinian pastry cooking lesson in which you will learn to cook something savory as well as something sweet. Begin your experience with a small picada (a traditional Argentinian meat and cheese platter) and welcome drink. Then you will start making your empanadas, starting with making the dough and preparing one filling from scratch. Your filling might be traditional ground beef with spices and onions, caprese (tomato, basil and mozzarella), or humita (a northern Argentinian filling with corn and a béchamel-like sauce). While the empanadas are cooking, begin to make your pastry dish. You will learn to make two or more traditional Argentinian pastries such alfajores or membricho tart, before sitting down to enjoy your sweet and savory creations together - such a great way to connect with a local!
