Immerse yourself in this authentic baking class in Buenos Aires with Florencia, a professionally trained pastry chef who learned Argentine recipes from her grandmother. This private, hands-on cooking class takes place in her welcoming Barracas apartment with stunning city views. During this 4-5 hour culinary experience, master traditional Argentine dishes from scratch. Start with a picada—an artisanal platter of meats and cheeses—then learn to make empanadas by hand, preparing fresh dough and fillings like savory ground beef, caprese, or humita (a northern Argentine corn specialty). While your empanadas bake, craft classic pastries including alfajores or a quince tart. "When you cook, you put so much of yourself and love into the food," shares your host, who left her embassy career to pursue her culinary passion. Her grandmother inspired her journey, and now she brings that warmth to travelers seeking authentic cultural experiences in Buenos Aires. Enjoy your homemade creations together in true Argentine style along with local wine—the perfect blend of hands-on learning, local hospitality, and delicious flavors. Vegetarians and/or gluten-free guests are welcome.
