The Argentina Experience Cooking Class

After suiting up with an apron and a chef's hat, you'll be taught how to make a traditional empanada. Then, use your imagination and take part in a creative empanada-making competition with fantastic prizes! You’ll also enjoy grilled provoleta (a variant of provolone cheese), sliced chorizo sausage, homemade "chimichurri" (savory sauce), warm bread and salsa criolla (sliced onions with herbs).

Learn how to order a juicy "bife de lomo" in Spanish, some of Argentina's best steak. Indulge in your cooked-to-order steak accompanied by velvety mashed potatoes and oven-roasted vegetables. For desert, you'll make your own "alfajores", a sweet treat that combines a biscuit with dulce de leche, melted chocolate fondue and coconut shavings – a combination sure to delight your senses! During your meal, you can drink Malbec wines.

You'll also learn about the history and etiquette of mate drinking, one of Argentina's national pastimes, as you prepare this tea drink from scratch with your group and taste the subtle flavors of your creation.
