This is a unique opportunity to visit the home of a local and explore traditional culture and cuisine. Meet your hosts Josefina and Ignacio at their late 19th century apartment located in the Montserrat neighborhood of Buenos, with lovely views of the city’s central boulevard leading to the obelisco. Start with a welcome drink of wine or a cocktail and a small appetizer such as a Josefina’s homemade pickled eggplant dip. Josefina will lead your cooking class in their kitchen where you will learn to prepare three seasonal, gourmet Argentinian dishes from scratch. Then sit down together at their communal dining table to enjoy a modern, 4-course gourmet meal, which will feature a starter such as beetroot carpaccio with blue cheese and a balsamic reduction, followed by a first course such as panko-fried shrimp on a couscous tower, topped with a herb sauce. For your main course, enjoy fresh Argentinian beef tenderloin, served with a mandarin and ginger sauce alongside creamy potatoes. End your meal with a sweet dessert of dark chocolate mousse with caramelized fruits, and coffee or tea. Bread and filtered water will also be available.
