About this experience
In this hands-on class, you'll begin by making empanada dough from scratch. Then, you’ll fill it with traditional ingredients like ground beef, onions, olives, and spices — or choose a vegetarian filling if you prefer. Your instructor will guide you through the folding technique and baking process so your empanadas turn out perfectly golden and crisp.
After that, it’s time for something sweet: alfajores. These delicious cookies are filled with creamy dulce de leche and rolled in coconut — a classic Argentine treat that’s hard to resist.
Once everything’s ready, you’ll sit down to enjoy the food you’ve prepared. You'll also leave with the recipes and tips you need to recreate these dishes at home and share a taste of Argentina with others.
