Join Mariela for a hands-on Buenos Aires cooking class in her welcoming Palermo home, one of the city’s most vibrant neighborhoods. Learn the secrets of authentic Argentine cuisine as you cook an appetizer, main dish, and a classic local drink such as fernet. Mariela shares her passion for traditional flavors and home-style techniques while guiding you through each step. Because her kitchen is small, some demonstrations may take place in the dining area. This one-hour cooking class offers a fun and flavorful introduction to Argentine culture, perfect for travelers who want to experience the real taste of Buenos Aires. If you opt for the optional market tour, visit a selection of Mariela's favorite local shops. Start with her local bakery, followed by a delicatessen to pick up some of her favorite cheeses. Then, take the bus together to a butcher and a greengrocer to select fresh meat and vegetables for your meal. Once all the ingredients are gathered, return to Mariela’s home for your hands-on cooking class and to enjoy the delicious meal you helped prepare.
