Then, you will join Juan in the kitchen to learn to make the dough for the main entree and some homemade barbecued extra crunchy fugazetta pizzettas. Once you’re done cooking, you will sit together to enjoy the meal you have prepared.

Juan initially took up cooking as a hobby back in his native country of Colombia; he grew up in Bogota and later moved to Buenos Aires to train to become a professional chef. He graduated from IAG (Instituto Argentino de Gastronomía) and then ran his own Argentinean restaurant and catering business along with his wife, Marina. Marina is Argentinean with Russian and Swiss roots and is the perfect partner for Juan as she enjoys hosting and Juan loves cooking!
