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 partner and I chose this specific cooking class because it covered both traditional Asado and empanada cooking. Connie and Manolo were very warm, welcoming and flexible with their time. They showed us a range of different meats, techniques and sauces and they tailored the class to our needs. This was truly a special experience and an absolute MUST DO for cooking enthusiasts. I highly recommend this class.- cathy September 10, 2026

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
