Ready to cook at home! - What a great experience!! I am leaving fully prepared to make an authentic Argentine meal at my home. I plan to make Chimichuri sauce for my holiday gifts. I felt so welcomed and comfortable asking questions and making mistakes. Ready for the next class!

This will add richness to your visit. Just do it. - My 9-year old son and I had the most incredible experience at this Pancha Mama Argentinian cooking class! From making delicious beef empanadas to indulging in dulce de Leche crepes, every dish we prepared was a true delight. The squash stew, Chiapas, and chimichurri were simply outstanding. We will enjoy making these recipes at home for many years! What made this experience even more special was the wonderful conversation about the food and the culture of Argentina. Meeting people from various countries added a unique touch to the event, making it a truly memorable evening. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, creating the perfect setting for a culinary adventure. The cooking skills needed are very basic, and they guide you through everything. They had several local recommendations to continue a great experience on our trip, and even some cool playlists to check out. Very chill group of folks, and very approachable. I highly recommend the Pancha Mama Argentinian cooking experience to anyone looking to immerse themselves in the flavors and traditions of this beautiful country. Thank you for an amazing time!
