Small Group Traditional Argentinean Cooking Class in Buenos Aires
What your day looks like
Host Bio: Franco discovered his passion for cooking by watching his grandfather grill delicious barbecues for the family while growing up in Mendoza. As a child, he loved spending time in the kitchen alongside his grandmother and aunt, learning the secrets of traditional Argentine cuisine. Today, Franco is a professional chef with years of experience in various kitchens, but his true love lies in teaching others to cook. He combined his passion for cooking and teaching to open his own cooking studio, where he shares the flavors and techniques of Argentina with travelers. Franco also enjoys traveling, and some of his best memories come from cooking and eating with locals around the world. When visiting his city, he can provide insider tips and off-the-beaten-path recommendations for an authentic Argentine experience. "I love teaching how to cook and getting to know people from around the world, showing them how beautiful Argentina can be."
