A perfect way to dive into Buenos Aires classic food culture, drive to a small town in the province of Buenos Aires, just outside the bustling capital. Here, the pace slows down and century-old traditions are still a way of life. Meet your host, a local cook with a passion for Argentina’s gastronomic culture, who will walk you through her delicious world.
Start by visiting a local bakery to learn how many of the country’s tasty breads and facturas, pastries, are made each day. Medialunas. Argentine croissants, will quickly become one of your favorite treats. Next, since Argentina is so renowned for succulent, grass-fed beef, stop by a local butcher shop to learn more about the specific cuts of beef to help you navigate meals in the countless parrilladas.
Continue to the local farmers market located in the heart of town. Extending for several blocks, roam the market and rub elbows with the locals as you procure ultra fresh produce, fish, herbs, and spices with your host.
Arrive at your host’s private family home. To get things started, help make some of Argentina’s ubiquitous empanadas with chimichurri sauce in the cozy kitchen. Later, sit down in the garden to a wonderful four-course meal with paired wines. Each course is guided by a young, knowledgeable sommelier. Salud to an exquisite exploration!
