Great experience, would do it again!! Highly recommend.
Truly enjoyed our private cooking class. One member gluten free, had read other reviews of how careful Saul was, and he took extreme precautions.
He arranged the menu to our desires, we learned how to make a delicious gluten free fettuccini with cherry tomatoes, then a beautiful ribeye with potatoes and a homemade dolce de Leche ice cream. Wine was two different bottles but great regional Malbec’s.
Very casual, friendly atmosphere in his well designed home kitchen for doing cooking classes.

Thanks so much for this lovely review! It means a lot that the gluten-free precautions felt genuinely careful, not just checked off a list. Really glad the fettuccini, ribeye, and dulce de leche ice cream all landed well, and that the Malbecs did their job too. It was a pleasure having the three of you in the kitchen. Hope to cook with you again next time you're in Buenos Aires!

A True Argentina Experience!
We did a private cooking class and wine tasting with Saul on January 1st, 2026. It was a highlight of our trip to South America. There were just 2 couples and it was perfect! The format of the class was intimate and so enjoyable. The conversation personable, and we learned such interesting tidbits about South American food and culture. Saul shared a special bottle of wine (or two!) with us and the food was fantastic! We will look forward to sharing these recipes with family back in the USA. This was a true Argentinian gem and so glad we shared this time with Saul in Buenos Aires. Highly recommend!

Thank you so much for your kind words! I’m really happy to hear the private cooking class and wine tasting was a highlight of your trip.
It was a pleasure hosting you both couples—keeping it small and intimate is exactly the experience I aim for. I’m glad you enjoyed the food, the wines, and the conversation about South American culture, and I hope you have a great time sharing the recipes back home in the USA.
Thanks again for choosing this little Buenos Aires gem—hope to welcome you back someday!

Awesome!
Chef Saul is an affable & patient teacher. He accommodated me by getting kosher meat for my lesson, which means he is a caring & generous person. I highly recommend you take a cooking class with him when visiting Buenos Aires. You won't be disappointed.

A great evening cooking in Buenos Aires!
We had a great time in Saul’s cooking class. We learned to make empanadas, chimichurri beef, and a dulce de leche dessert - all of which were very tasty. The empanadas were the best we tasted in Argentina. The meal was also accompanied by some lovely Argentine wines. Saul also sent us the recipes so we can recreate the dishes at home. We can’t wait to make the empanadas again. We would highly recommended this experience.

Thanks a lot Cheryl for your review! Best wishes to both of you and look forward for the pictures of the empanadas you´ll make at home :)!

Unforgettable culinary experience with Saul - the highlight of our trip!
Our evening with Saul was an absolute highlight of our time in Argentina. From the moment we stepped into his welcoming space, we felt like we were being hosted by an old friend—one with a deep love for food, wine, and genuine connection.
We shared the experience with another lovely couple we hadn’t met before, and together, under Saul’s warm guidance, we prepared a beautiful meal that was both authentic and approachable. We made traditional empanadas, seasoned and cooked a ribeye-style steak to perfection, crafted a rich and flavorful chimichurri, and roasted potatoes that were simple yet unforgettable. The homemade dessert—a gelato featuring dulce de leche—was divine, and Saul even went out of his way to create a special cake without alcohol for our 13-year-old son.
The food alone would have been enough to earn five stars, but what made the night so special was Saul himself. His passion for Argentine cuisine, his storytelling, and his thoughtfulness (especially in choosing two exceptional wines—one from a boutique winery and the other from a high-end producer) created an experience that was deeply personal and truly memorable.
We left feeling full, inspired, and incredibly grateful—not just for the food and wine, but for the conversation and warmth we shared around the table. Saul, thank you for making our evening so meaningful. We will be recommending your experience to everyone we know visiting Buenos Aires!

Argentine cooking mad simple and fun
Myself, my wife and two teenaged daughters (16,17) spent a terrific evening with Saul learning a few basic but delicious Argentinian dishes. We all felt very comfortable from the very start and thoroughly enjoyed the experience!

Yami Hen Party - Cooking Class Friends 🤍
I met Saul in 2016. After several years, we contacted him to perform the Yami Bachelorette party along with 9 friends. The experience could not be better, Saul thought about all the details and proposed a menu that we could not refuse. He let us decorate with balloons and the result was phenomenal. We cooked, learned and ate a mince, fettucini al pesto, three-cheese ravioli with a caramelized tomato sauce and an iced shot of dulce de leche! All exquisite and super easy to cook with all Saul's tricks. Thank you very much for a unique night
