Warm. Welcoming. Well-traveled. Chef Gustavo welcomed us into his home and shared his love of South American cuisine. From the tips to how best prep ingredients for multiple recipes to the sharing of cultural stories and knowledge, we learned so much, had inspiring conversation, and helped to prepare delicious food. This was the perfect Christmas present for my husband! We look forward to practicing what we learned and making some South American inspired meals.

The class was very informative, the menu was delicious, and the perfect amount of food. Learning how to make arepas, empanadas, and ceviche was really easy with Chef Gustavo teaching!
