Authentic Asado and Cooking Experience with a Local in her Beautiful Home

We recently enjoyed a scrumptious meal and a wonderful evening with Juan and Marina. They reached out before the evening to ensure we were able to find their home. From the moment we arrived at their home they made us feel like special guests and new best friends at the same time. They greeted us with homemade pizza and endless delicious wine. Juan, who is a chef by training, showed us how to prepare empanadas and other appetizers from scratch. We had so much fun getting our hands dirty and kneading the dough. We were taught how to season beef properly and slow cook it on the outside wood and coal barbeque. We sat down to a delicious meal and felt very comfortable in their home. The food was delicious, probably the best beef and pork we have ever eaten and cooked to perfection. It was a highlight of our trip to Argentina and we did not want the evening to end. They made some excellent suggestions for other restaurants and things to do while in town. We very highly recommend this unique experience and we will definitely visit again when we return to Buenos Aires.

Five friends and family had a great time with Constanza and her husband Manolo. The class was in their home which made it more special. We really enjoyed watching Manolo cook the bbq and we learned a lot about the different cuts of meat and experienced some new tastes. The only drawback was the long distance to their home. Constanza helped guide our taxis. I highly recommend this class.

  We traveled to B.A. in December before a trip to Antarctica and arrived on the day Argentina  won the world cup.  It was such an electric and amazing experience to be there and celebrate victory with the locals. But by far, the best experience we had in B.A. was our time with Connie and her husband, Monolo.  They welcomed us into their home and treated us as family.  They picked us up at our hotel and returned us with very safe and reliable transportation.   Their home is situated in a very safe gated community with amazing architecture of the homes.  Their backyard lani setting truly felt like a resort.  Inside their kitchen, we donned our aprons and went to work.  Corn empanadas were on the menu, and they were absolutly delishus.  Connie was patient and educational, and immersed us into the history of Aregentina and their local customs.  But then the real show began.  Monolo showed us their parrilla and we started to experience a true asado via a cooking technique called a “la parrilla”.  Wood fired smokey delish meats included chorizos, steaks, chittlings (which was absolutly amazing) and black pudding.  My takeaway was the wonderful local wines they paired the meal with and they also cooked and served and the provoleta cheese, along with baguettes that were perfectly cooked with our meal. Very fair pricing for our experience in a loving home – I highly recommend and will be back again one day--- Thank you, Connie and Monolo !
