Description
If you're in Argentina you might be eating empanadas everywhere/everyday and you will start to notice some differences. We are pretty sure you will find your favorite empanada restaurant as well!
In this experience we invite you to Marina's house, a 'petit hotel house' in the residential neighborhood of Caballito, where we teach you Sara Figueroa’s recipe, the empanada world’s champion! These empanadas are from Tucuman province and we’ll teach you all about them: how to cook them from scratch, the implicit empanada code, the art in the empanada shape, and the best part: we'll eat them pairing with excellent wines.
There are other two symbols of our national gastronomy: Alfajores de dulce de leche and mate. We'll make our own alfajores and we teach you how to prepare a mate properly!
