Experience Details

What makes our activity unique is that it is born from a family and shared history, in which tradition and passion for Chilean cuisine were transformed into a cultural experience. My sister and I created it with dedication, organizing events and tastings to promote local products and discover the history of our cuisine. She, a chef and journalist, was instrumental as a creator and culinary soul, bringing all her talent to the kitchen. For us, the empanada, with the wonderful recipe of our grandmother, symbolizes the Chilean identity; preparing it is a way to connect with our traditions. The most important thing is to have fun cooking, sharing, learning the secrets of the recipe and enjoying a bit of Chile in every bite.

What You’ll Experience

We will share with you a cooking class where you will learn the techniques and secrets of the famous Pine Empanadas, a special recipe of our beloved grandmother. We’ll talk about the ingredients that make it up: dough, stuffing or pine (onion, meat, raisins, olives and egg) and the famous Chilean pebre (tomato, onion and coriander). We will cook the ingredients of the patty, and teach you to organize the elements to fill and close them. We will work the dough, cut it and make the classic shapes, then heat the oven to the right temperature and bake them until golden brown. We will also make the delicious pebre that accompanies them, to finally sit at the table to taste the traditional Peña con Pebre Chilean Pine Empanada. Ask me if you have any special needs and we will see how to adapt to you. We love to share with people from different cultures and will be happy to share with you, whoever you are.
