We had an amazing time at this empanada cooking class! The instructor was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the whole experience fun and easy to follow. We learned how to make authentic Argentine empanadas from scratch, and the hands-on approach made it even more enjoyable. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and it was a great way to learn about the local culture while enjoying delicious food. The empanadas turned out fantastic, and we can’t wait to make them again at home. Highly recommended for anyone visiting the area—whether you’re a beginner or already enjoy cooking. A memorable experience and definitely one of the highlights of our trip!

The ice cream walking tour with Gaby was fabulous -- we went as a family of four (kids are 8 and 11) and she treated us like family friends she was showing her favorite spots to. We learned so much about her neighborhood and her love for her community. Gaby was a welcoming guide to BA. And we ate SO much delicious ice cream and tried flavors we normally wouldn't think too.

We had such a wonderful time at the empanada cooking class! Our host was absolutely amazing—warm, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about teaching. She greeted us right outside her apartment with such enthusiasm that we felt welcome from the very start. Even though we had no prior experience, she made us feel completely at ease and guided us through each step with patience and joy. The experience was hands-on, fun, and incredibly informative. We got to enjoy our empanadas the authentic way on her beautiful balcony, which made it all the more special. We truly hope to stay in touch with her. If you’re considering this class, don’t hesitate—book it!

I appreciated that Gabby reached out to us, as soon as we booked and we even met over Zoom. She was friendly and warm and willing to help with anything we needed. We had good directions to her home and she was waiting outside to meet us. We enjoyed our walk and visit to the market but we enjoyed the empanada class more. She prepared a snack for us, before we began and she had most of the ingredients prepped and ready for us to assemble. We learned different ways to fold the dough and how to tell what is inside, based on the fold. I think we made 3 or 4 different fillings. They were all tasty but unfortunately, we got talking and the last type was a bit burned. Our 2-3 hour experience turned into 6 hours and we left feeling like we were old friends.

We had so much fun making empanadas with Gabriela! Something that we thought would be so hard turned out to be much easier and customizable! We made more a few days later! Thanks!
