Empanada & Choripán Class

Two classics, from dough to grill

The two classics that best sum up everyday Argentine cooking. You build it, cook it and eat it: every guest prepares their own empanadas, then it's back to the grill to finish off the choripán.

Program

The program, step by step

Here's how the experience unfolds, from welcome to the last cup of mate.

  1. Step 1: Welcome

    As guests arrive: a glass of Malbec or Torrontés, water with lemon and mint, sourdough and cornbread, and homemade cheeses and cold cuts to share on the rooftop. Our chef introduces the experience.

  2. Step 2: The story of choripán

    Where it comes from and why it became such a staple of our culture. Short and sweet, so you know exactly what you're eating later.

  3. Step 3: Chorizos on the grill

    We start the pork chorizos first, so they have time to cook properly while we move on to the rest.

  4. Step 4: The empanada filling

    With the chorizos already on the grill, we start prepping the filling.

  5. Step 5: The story of the empanada

    Its many varieties and how they differ by region — why the ones from the north are nothing like the ones from the Litoral.

  6. Step 6: Empanada class

    Ingredients laid out on the table, hands ready: every guest shapes two empanadas, from filling to repulgue.

  7. Step 7: Salsas and tasting

    While the empanadas cook, we prepare the Argentine classics: chimichurri, criolla, provenzal and yasgua. Then the empanadas hit the table.

  8. Step 8: The choripán

    Back to the grill to finish the choripán and eat it fresh off the fire.

  9. Step 9: Group photo and recipes

    We wrap up with a group photo and send everyone home with the recipes as a souvenir, so you can make it all again.
