Step into the vibrant culinary world of Argentina in this cooking class in Miami! Embark on an unforgettable evening where you’ll discover the art of crafting the beloved empanada—a crisp, golden pastry filled with savory goodness.
Known for its flaky crust and juicy interior, the empanada boasts a rich history and endless variations across Latin America. It's believed that Spanish settlers brought the original recipe to Argentina in the 1500s, and today, you'll learn its secrets from Chef Lui, a graduate of the esteemed Culinary Institute of Argentina.
In this engaging, hands-on class, Chef Lui will guide you through the process of creating traditional Argentine-style empanadas from scratch. You’ll learn how to prepare and knead the dough, then fill it with two delicious mixtures: a hearty blend of ground beef and vegetables, and a rich, cheesy onion filling. Watch and follow along as the chef demonstrates the proper way to fill, fold, and crimp the dough into perfect pockets ready for baking.
The highlight of the evening? Sitting down to enjoy the empanadas you made yourself—flaky, flavorful, and fresh from the oven. You’ll leave the class with new culinary skills, a deeper appreciation for Argentine cuisine, and the confidence to recreate this dish at home for friends and family.
No prior cooking experience is needed. We supply all the tools and ingredients—most of which can be found in your local grocery store. Our classes are laid-back and enjoyable, designed to welcome everyone from curious first-timers to passionate home chefs who love to roll up their sleeves and get involved.
