Foodies with a thirst for adventure can now cook up a storm in
cosmopolitan Buenos Aires as Cook Abroad launches its range of cooking
classes in the cultural melting pot that is Argentina’s beguiling
capital city.
A city of tangos and milonga, with sizzling summers and architectural
gems, with art, colour and music around every corner, Buenos Aires is a
fusion on Latin American and Mediterranean, with Spanish and Italian
influences and food and wine fit for a king.
Staying true to the ideal that to really get to know a culture, a
city and its people you must start with the food, Cook Abroad gives
travellers heading to Buenos Aires a gourmet introduction, with a choice
of seven classes highlighting the flavoursome local cuisine, South
American staples such as empanadas, meats and the Malbec that is
Argentina’s culinary calling card.
Julia Grosman - Founder of Cook Abroad said, “After living in London
and taking many trips around the world, I realized most of my traveling
pictures were about food, which I think many people can relate to! The
thing I enjoyed the most about each country was to discover the culinary
wonders each place had to offer. Once I came back to Argentina, I
decided I wanted everyone visiting my home town, Buenos Aires, to have
the opportunity to experience the amazing local cuisine, culture and
wine.
“Cooking classes are a great cultural activity when traveling to
Buenos Aires and a fantastic way to learn how to cook Argentine food,
learn the culture and have some fun as well. Our classes are a good way
to take something back from a trip, perhaps to cook Argentine food for
your family and friends.”
There’s a whole class dedicated to empanadas – the little pockets of
tasty dough stuffed Argentinian style with meat, cheese, corn and other
flavours. In just three hours, students can learn how to make the
traditional dough from scratch, three different fillings and master two
cooking methods.
A meat and wine class gives those with a nose for an Argentine grape a
chance to learn not just how to make empanadas, but how to make a sauce
from the local wine paired with a delicious meat dish too. In addition
there’s an introduction to preparing and testing the South American tea,
Mate – once known as the drink of the gods.
There’s also a Buenos Aires Argentine food Class, which gives
visitors a delicious introduction to the local cuisine, with instruction
on making chipa bread, corn empanadas, carbonada criolla (a local meat
stew with chorizo and Malbec wine) and mate.
Classes can be customised, with vegetarian and gluten free options,
giving visitors a chance to totally immerse themselves in the tastes and
techniques of Argentinian cooking.
Cook Abroad will launch classes in Buenos Aires in 2018. To find out more, visit
