Pachamama - Argentine Cooking Experience in Buenos Aires

Fun, interactive, filling, informative and tasty! Good for a rainy day activity. Come with an empty stomach.

Great experience - the variety of items prepared was authentic and delicious. Good mix of guests. Lots of hands-on preparation and eating time Highly recommend

This was a wonderful way to get to know Argentina's culture by learning popular meals for the area and learning how to prepare them. The instructors were kind and the event was very well organized. I would highly recommend this experience.

When we found out we would visit Buenos Aires again after 7 years, we immediately sought out Pachamama for a repeat indoctrination to Argentinean cooking. It was that fun, instructive, and delicious. From hosting this cooking experience in his apartment in 2019 to the new dedicated storefront location in the quiet Las Canitas neighborhood of BA's Palermo district, it was quite a transformation. However, the expertise, flow, and efficiency of the class remained remarkable. Now with two assistants, Franco entertained us for three hours through a full four-course meal which we actually prepared for ourselves. Everyone participated in a meaningful way. Even with seemingly complicated dishes, one had the feeling that there was hope you could re-create each item in your own home. You will come away with pictures, recipes, and good friends from around the world. And you will not need to eat dinner....

Very well-prepared and fun class! We got to make a bunch of recipes as a team and then enjoy them together. The hosts were warm, welcoming, and funny, and we really enjoyed cooking together!

We love participating in cooking experiences when we travel as a family. This cooking experience went above and beyond, not only did they have tastings and cultural introductions. It was well planned and even more importantly, the food was delicious. Francisco was hilarious and made the event special for us.

Taking a cooking class at Pachamama Argentine Cooking Experience was one of the highlights of my time in Buenos Aires. The class was incredibly well organized, fun, and very hands-on from start to finish. We started with a welcome snack while learning about the history of Argentine cuisine, which set the tone for the experience. Then we rolled up our sleeves and cooked several traditional dishes together, including chipá, regional empanadas, humita, and a delicious dulce de leche dessert. Everything was explained clearly, and the instructors made it easy and enjoyable even if you’re not an experienced cook.  What I loved most was the atmosphere. The group was small and interactive, so it felt more like cooking with friends than taking a class. The instructors were knowledgeable, funny, and shared lots of tips about Argentine food and culture along the way.  At the end we all sat down together to enjoy the meal we prepared, paired with wine, which made it feel like a true Argentine dining experience. It was a great way to meet other travelers while enjoying fantastic food.  If you’re visiting Buenos Aires and want something memorable to do, I highly recommend this class. It’s a fun way to learn about the country’s cuisine and leave with recipes you can actually recreate at home.
