Host offerings
In addition to being warm and hospitable hosts, Geraldine and Santiago are world travelers and food lovers, passionate about their city. They live in a lovely apartment in Victoria, a safe and quiet suburb of Buenos Aires, about 20 km northwest of downtown Buenos Aires. Geraldine and Santiago love to share with guests Northern Argentine food made from recipes that have been passed down through generations in their family. They are also a terrific resource for historical information, stories about daily life, and recommendations for local gems in vibrant Buenos Aires.
Please note menu might vary. If there are particular dishes you are interested in trying, please include your request in the booking form.
In-home meal (1 - 4 guests) Your Argentine meal will begin with a drink and a picada (appetizer), perhaps a selection of cured meats, cheeses, olives and breads. The main meal will vary with the seasons. When the weather is good you might enjoy an asado (barbeque), one of the most popular and iconic cooking techniques in Argentina. Or, you might dine on homemade empanadas, stuffed with beef, ham and cheese with dough made from scratch, or perhaps a sampling of milanesas (breaded meat cutlets), a typical home-style dish. For dessert you might sample Geraldine's flan mixto (made with dulce de leche and whipped cream), alfajores and coffee. During your meal, enjoy local Argentinian wine from a vineyard that Geraldine's brother works with. A portion of the proceeds of wine sales go toward helping animals.
Cooking experience (1 - 4 guests) Step into the kitchen for a hands-on Buenos Aires cooking class with hosts Geraldine and Santiago. You'll learn to make traditional Argentinian dishes such as empanadas or milanesa, both typical home-style dishes of the country. After your cooking lesson sit down together to enjoy your meal served with local wine, ending your experience with a local dessert and coffee.
Notes: Your hosts live in a suburb of Buenos Aires.
