WHAT WE’LL COVER 

Get ready to roll up your sleeves and get your hands dirty! 
 
Empanadas: A Handheld Taste of Argentina is a hands-on class where you’ll learn to craft three different versions of Argentine-style empanadas from scratch! 

Chef Fabricio will kick off the class by teaching you how to make empanada dough. 
 
Next, you’ll prepare three different fillings and learn how to seal each empanada with its own signature fold, so that they’ll taste as delicious as they are beautiful. 

On The Menu: 

Salteñas 

Named for Salta, a northern province of Argentina that shares a border with both Bolivia and Paraguay, Salteñas are a cross-cultural medley of beef, onions, eggs, olives, herbs, and spices perfectly sealed inside a delicate pastry parcel. 
 
Served with chimichurri, a vibrant, zesty, and herbaceous staple of Argentine cuisine.  

Caprese 
Decades of migration have resulted in over 60% of Argentina’s current population now having some Italian ancestry.  
So, we’ll be filling an empanada with the very Italian: basil, mozzarella, and tomatoes. 

Dulce De Leche Y Queso  

And for dessert, a taste of Argentina's sweet side! 

Indulge in a contrast of flavours, where the sweetness of dulce de leche meets the savoury notes of queso, encased in a flaky crust. 

You'll also be introduced to Fernet con Coca, a true cultural icon in Argentina.  
Best enjoyed as a digestif, this unique drink combines the bold, herbal flavours of Fernet Branca with the sweet, carbonated taste of Coca-Cola.
