Constanza (Connie) is a professional chef trained at the prestigious Instituto Argentino de Gastronomía (IAG), one of Argentina’s top culinary schools. Her true passion lies in mastering the art of the Argentine asado — the country’s beloved barbecue tradition. With expert knowledge of fire, timing, and technique, your host prepares perfectly grilled meats and vegetables while sharing the cultural stories and rituals that make the asado such an essential part of Argentine life.

In the beginning, I was not so sure if this experience is worth the trip to General Rodriguez, but after I arrived and met the charming hosts in their beautiful home with a lovely park, I realized that this is the correct place to experience a typical Argentinean BBQ -out of the city in the peaceful suburbs! This is surely an experience I will always remember.

My family had a wonderful cooking experience! Connie and her husband treated us like guests in their home. We cooked and enjoyed a traditional asado with a number of different meats and dishes. I’ve recommended Connie’s cooking experience to friends and plan to book again next time we visit Buenos Aires.- Sophie May 20, 2025
My clients were absolutely amazed by this experience. The hosts were gracious and made my clients feel comfortable and welcome. They were shown authentic Argentinian cooking and enjoyed a great meal and company. Thank you Project Expedition and Constanza for delivering a first class experience.- Kathryn March 14, 2024
Five friends and family had a great time with Constanza and her husband Manolo. The class was in their home which made it more special. We really enjoyed watching Manolo cook the bbq and we learned a lot about the different cuts of meat and experienced some new tastes. The only drawback was the long distance to their home. Constanza helped guide our taxis. I highly recommend this class.- LynnRDN March 15, 2023
