The Secret Kitchen of San Telmo: Learn to Make Empanadas
Step into my historic San Telmo home, in the city’s oldest neighborhood. We’ll start with a traditional mate as I tell you a few stories about San Telmo, the bohemian heart of Buenos Aires, where tango was born, and every corner has a story to tell.
Let’s dive into making empanadas! We’ll knead, roll, and shape the dough from scratch, just like my grandmother taught me. You’ll choose between classic beef or vegetarian filling, and I’ll show you how to fold them perfectly using the “repulgue” technique. While we cook, we’ll sip on Malbec, and for dessert, we’ll make alfajorcitos de dulce de leche. It’s going to be a warm and delicious experience you’ll love!
