Barrio Norte, Buenos Aires, Argentina
Bored? Sitting at home wishing you had something to do, something to stimulate your interest, your intellect, your skills, your tastebuds? Wishing you knew more about what’s going on in the kitchen behind the scenes of all the food you’ve been eating, or wish you were eating? Let’s do something together about that….
Classes are offered both in person and online. For in person classes, simply because of the size of the kitchen, they are limited to no more than three students at a time. Generally, we offer options for 2-4 different classes each month, and these can be scheduled for any day or time that both you and we are available. If there’s a different topic for a class you’re interested in, feel free to ask!
