Do you want to learn how to prepare traditional food from Patagonia? Discover how to make Patagonian lamb and empanadas in this fantastic cooking workshop in El Calafate. This is a treat for all aspiring Chefs.
What to expect from the experience?
In the evening. we meet up at a charming local restaurant in the center of El Calafate where our brilliant cooking workshop will take place.
Accompanied by a professional chef, you will learn to prepare two traditional Patagonian recipes and then later you can taste your freshly made dishes - a delicious treat for all your hard work in the kitchen.
Before firing up the stove, we will head into the restaurant's orchard where you can choose the fresh fruit and vegetables to use in your salad garnish.
Once in the kitchen, you will learn the steps to making an authentic Argentinian empanada. The main ingredient is lamb, although there are also vegetarian options available too. Please let us know when making the reservation if you require special dietary requirements.
Then it's time to prepare the Patagonian lamb roast. This idyllic region in southern Argentina is known as producing the best lamb meat in the country. You will learn the traditional way to cook it in the embers of the fire and accompanied by chimichurri sauce.
While the lamb is roasting, we will enjoy a delicious glass of regional wine. When it's ready, we will then enjoy all the dishes we have prepared and even a dessert. The activity finally comes to an end at 10 pm with our taste buds satisfied and having learned all about the wonderful cuisine of Argentine.
