Like having dinner with old friends - Our cooking class with Juan and Marina was one of the highlights of our time in Buenos Aires. They reached out ahead of time, to connect and again as we got closer, to be sure we knew how to find their home. They were very accommodating of our time constraints and even made some adjustments for us and had everything laid out and organized. We were welcomed with big hugs and delicious food. We enjoyed making the empanada dough and then filling it with something delicious they had prepared ahead of time. The empanadas were fried but not at all greasy. We loved preparing and tasting the different sauces and learning about how to cook the asado. Seriously, some of the best meat ever. Sure, the food was AMAZING but what made the experience were the people. Juan and Marina are so friendly and interesting and we had such easy conversation with them. We left feeling like we had new friends in Buenos Aires. Thank you!

Juan and Marina - Had a great hands on experience. Excellent meal and training on how to do it. We made Empanadas from scratch, learned what meats to use and how to best prepare them and understood the why’s.

Amazing cooking class experience with Juan & Marina! - My friend and I booked the Argentinean Asado and Cooking lesson with Juan & Marina and could not have been happier with our experience! Juan & Marina had a beautiful home and were exceptional hosts who made us feel like we had been life long friends. We learned how to cook traditional Asado as well as making authentic chimichurri and a few other delicious items. The steak we had was hands down the most delicious steak we had our ENTIRE time in Argentina. With Juan & Marina's impeccable hospitality, delicious food and beautiful home I would not hesitate to book this experience again with them. It feels as if I've made lifelong friends.

Authentic and delicious! - After two weeks of exploring Argentina, we were lucky enough to be welcomed into Juan and Marina's beautiful home. It was as if we had known them for years, It was the first time in Argentina we were able to dig deeper into the cuisine than just indulging. As Juan has an extensive background in gastronomy and Marina in hospitality, and they both have a strong understanding of the English language (as well as a few other languages), they explained the importance of each step in the process and were able to give hints of how to take the dish to the "next level".
Eating local cuisine is always the recommended way to experience the local culture (we did a lot), but Juan's empanadas were the best empanadas we had in Argentina.
I am so happy we were able to enjoy this lovely night and recommend Juan and Marina to anyone that is in Buenos Aires!
