Private Market Tour and Traditional Argentinean Cooking Class in San Telmo

This is a unique opportunity to visit the home of a local and explore traditional culture and cuisine. Meet Cris and Beto at their apartment and then walk for 5-10 minutes to the San Telmo market, built in 1897. You will walk around this large indoor market which has stalls offering everything from antiques to fresh fruit and spices, for 1 hour. Cris and Beto will show you the shops from where they buy ingredients and will explain more about how it is used in Argentinean cooking. After you buy a few ingredients for your cooking class, walk back to Cris and Beto’s apartment for your cooking class and meal. Cris and Beto have a very small kitchen, so most of the prep work will be done at the dining table and kitchen will be used only for the final cooking. In your 1 hour class, you will learn to prepare two dishes, bifes a la criolla (beef steaks cooked with vegetables) and a coconut and dulce de leche cake. This will be a combination of a demonstration and a hands-on class, due to the space constraints. The prep work at the dining table will be hands-on while the final cooking in the kitchen will be a demo, where you will watch them put the final touches to the dish.
