Description

Chile & Tradition is a popular cooking class that includes a choice of dishes and dessert, plus a Farmer's Market shopping tour. The first 30 minutes focus on preparing Chilean pebre using fresh vegetables such as tomatoes, onions, cilantro, or chives.

Next, you will learn to knead dough and make oven-baked empanadas with classic fillings like Pino (meat) or cheese. For those avoiding empanadas, stuffed avocado or a similar vegetable-based appetizer is available.

The main course includes your choice of five typical Chilean dishes: Charquicán (with or without meat), Cazuela (chicken or meat), Pastel de Choclo (corn pie when in season), Cancato (butterfish or salmon), or Ceviche. The meal concludes with wine and/or a Pisco Sour.
