The food was delicious and so, the company and the conversations. We even got - well, we asked for a 'doggie bag' :-). I think evenings like these are so special and unique to connect with the local but open minded and global community; nothing you get from restaurant outings, etc.

Juan & Marina exceeded any expectation we could have ever imagined. From the moment we met them, we were instant friends. They welcomed us into their beautiful home and made us feel as though we were old friends. They were so informative in teaching us new cuts of meat, types of wood, techniques and their cultural past-time. We talked, we laughed, we ate for hours and learned how the traditional Asado was prepared and presented. The food and wine were amazing. Every course was just as good as the one before. The flavors were incredible. Juan's Colombian twist added a new dimension to the Asado as well as some of their Colombian appetizers. Juan & Marina showed us how to make panchoripan which we had never had before. Juan taught us the proper way to start the parrilla with woods we are now dreaming of. We were so inspired that we have taken a new approach to the way we BBQ and the Argentine cuisine. We hope to build an Argentine parrilla in our backyard and entertain our friends with an Asado experience like the one we experienced in their home. Thank you so very much Juan and Marina for not only an unforgettable evening but for the recipes and the ongoing culinary advice. We hope to meet you again someday! Terry & Jaxon

Mariela greeted us warmly and welcomed us into her home, which already smelled delicious. We had a traditional Argentinian beverage before heading out for a neighborhood walk to the local bakery, deli and Mercado to purchase items for our lunch. The meat and vegetables were prepared very well and plated in an appealing manner. Dessert and traditional mate made for an enjoyable end to a lingering lunch. One BA experience not to miss. Being in a home and not in a cooking school made all the difference to a unique experience.

This felt like a couple that you knew at the university who got married, moved to Argentina, and you are now visiting them many years later. An evening with Constanza and Juan was the highlight of our stay in Argentina. Their house is beautiful, perfect for entertaining and experiencing an Argentine barbecue.The food was really delicious. From the picadas to the empanadas, to the different cuts of meats and vegetables cooked on the grill, everything was perfect. We had good conversation for hours while cooking on their backyard patio. The trees in the backyard provided a cool escape from the hot sun and a perfect backdrop to the evening. Constanza and Juan are two very warm and down to earth people. They provided some very helpful cooking tips as well as getting a taste of the Argentine barbecue experience. Muchas gracias Constanza y Juan por una noche maravillosa que nunca olvidaremos.

Florencia was very accomodating of my last minute request. Spending the afternoon with her, cooking and baking, was like spending time with a friend. She was informative and thoughtful and answered my many questions :) I will, without a doubt, be making the recipes again at home. I wouldn't hesitate to book with her again if I were to return to Buenos Aires.Muchas gracias Florencia!!!

A Great Time & A New Dish For Home. Our hostess and teacher, Gabriella, showed us how to cook several types of really tasty empanadas and how to form five (that’s what I remember - maybe it was more) shapes of shells with different dough folding and pinching techniques. The pumpkin and cheese were fantastic! The best thing is, it’s easy enough to do and we do them at home all the time now. This was one of the best evenings we had in Buenos Aries and definitely was a bargain at the price. She mentioned that she can teach other classic Argentine foods as well and we will surely call her when we are back. Not to be missed!

Meet Marice at her apartment in one of Buenos Aires’ most beautiful residential neighborhoods, Belgrano R, famous for being the location of a large number of national embassies. Flor lives on the main avenue while Marice lives in a cozy apartment 10 blocks away. <br><br> Hosting takes place either at Flor’s or Marice’s, depending on the guest’s meal preference between barbecue (asado) or home-style cuisine. If the day is nice, guests can enjoy a traditional barbecue or “asado” at Marice’s. She built a little barbecue on her patio garden and is an excellent "asadora". If it’s a cold winter day, you might want to choose a more gourmet, home-style option: a homemade pumpkin soup as an entrée, followed by beef carbonada, a delicious stew, and a flan with dulce de leche as dessert. If you choose this home-style option, you will meet at Marice's and walk together a few blocks to her sister Flor's place. <br><br> Food will be paired with a local Argentinian Malbec wine for either meal option.

I loved the asado on the patio, and the view from Nicolas' apartment is amazing. It's one of my favorite memories from my time in Buenos Aires! Nicolas is an easy-going, friendly cook, and his apartment is the perfect date night location. Nicolas was warm and welcoming from beginning to end, and that feeling of simple goodness carries into the food. It would be easy to spend a long time chatting on the patio, except that he has so many recommendations of what to do next in the area (ask about PIBÄ).

My wife and I really enjoyed our time with Virginia and Lucas! We were able to prepare and cook an authentic Argentinian asado starting with buying the products at the local shops, and then, preparing and cooking in their home. Virginia put a lot of time and thought into the menu, and I had some dietary restrictions which she was able to accommodate. The food was delicious, and we really enjoyed learning more about Argentinian food and culture. We would definitely recommend booking with Virginia and Lucas!

This was mine and my wife’s first time ever doing anything like this at all. So going into it I was not sure what to expect and I was nervous there might be a big language barrier. Once the class started though it was absolutely amazing! She was very easy to understand and gave us all the time that we needed since we were new and didn’t exactly know what we were doing. She also made sure to re explain things when we were unsure if we were doing the steps properly. It was overall an amazing experience and we are looking forward to signing up for another class.

On Saturday we went to Nico and Pilar's home and we had an amazing time! The neighborhood is one of the latest cool places in Buenos Aires city. There are a lot of very cool restaurants and bars, and it's the place where young people are moving to, looking for less expensive accommodation that is also well connected to public transport. The building where they live is really interesting - 1920's construction with 40 small houses for families, each with their own terrace. Nico and Pilar were very welcoming and we had a really nice conversation during our experience. The house is cool - very Buenos Aires with lots of colors and stuff but clean. The class was easy to follow and the ingredients can be easily found. The food tasted great! It may not be fancy but going to this young couple's home with homey vibes gives you a chance to experience a taste of real Argentinian Italian cuisine and hospitality.
