Modern Argentinian Gourmet Meal with Locals in their Central Buenos Aires Home
Enjoy a private and gourmet meal in a central Buenos Aires home with host Josefina, a special advisor of foreign affairs by day who has been cooking since the age of 12. This is a perfect experience for anyone looking to connect with local culture over food. Josefina’s interest in food was first sparked by her father, the cook of their family who had an early interest in gourmet food and cooking. While other children were picked up and served spaghetti for lunch, her father would pick her up from school and serve perfectly prepared chicken with an orange reduction sauce. Josefina hosts along with Ignacio, her boyfriend, a Buenos Aires native who similarly loves hosting others. Together they invite travelers to share a gourmet, modern meal in their Buenos Aires home.
