The Class, Your Group and the Location
Are the cooking classes private?
Yes. Your booking is exclusively for your party, with no other guests joining. Discuss your interests and requirements with Saul so you can agree on the arrangements before your visit.
Where does the cooking class take place?
Cooking and dining take place in Chef Saul’s home in Coghlan, a residential neighborhood in Buenos Aires City. Exact location details are shared after booking. Ask about getting there and allow travel time as well as time for the experience. For the combined experiences, confirm the full itinerary and meeting arrangements.
Is the class hosted in English?
Yes. Chef Saul hosts in English or Spanish. Tell him your preferred language when arranging your visit.
Do I need cooking experience?
No previous cooking experience is needed. The class is hands-on, with guidance from Saul. Tell him about your experience and interests so he can guide your participation.
Is it suitable for couples, families or groups?
Yes. Couples, families and friends can book privately. Dinner and Wine Tasting can accommodate up to 12 guests; Tango is for up to eight. Send your group size and children’s ages, if relevant, so Saul can confirm suitable arrangements for your chosen experience.
How long does it last, and can we arrange lunch?
Allow approximately 3–3.5 hours for Cooking Class + Dinner, or 4.5 hours for Tango or Wine Tasting, plus your travel time. The suggested start time is 6:00 pm; lunchtime or other times may be arranged subject to availability. Confirm the start time and full schedule for your date.
Food, Wine and Dietary Requirements
What will we cook?
A typical menu includes Argentine beef empanadas made from scratch, ribeye with chimichurri, a seasonal side and a homemade dulce de leche dessert. The menu is discussed in advance. Explain your preferences and dietary requirements so Saul can confirm the menu for your group. See Cooking Class + Dinner for the full experience.
What is included?
Cooking Class + Dinner includes ingredients, equipment, hands-on cooking, the three-course meal, Argentine wines and digital recipes. Tango adds a private tango lesson before cooking. Wine Tasting includes a guided tasting of four premium Argentine wines. Ask Saul to confirm the full inclusions in your quote.
Are wines included? What if someone does not drink wine?
Argentine wines are served with dinner. For a guided tasting, choose Cooking Class + Wine Tasting. If someone does not drink wine, tell Saul before booking and ask which drinks can be offered.
Can dietary restrictions be accommodated?
Menu adaptations may be possible with advance notice, including vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and kosher-friendly options. Describe your requirements, including any allergies, before booking and wait for Saul to confirm what can be accommodated. The kitchen itself is not strictly kosher.
Can we combine cooking with tango?
Yes. Cooking Class + Tango starts with a one-hour private tango lesson adapted to your level, followed by cooking and dinner. No previous dance experience is needed. Allow approximately 4.5 hours in total.
Prices and Booking
How much does it cost?
Ask Saul for a current quote for your chosen experience, date and number of guests. Confirm the total for your group and what is included before reserving. Mention dietary requirements and any questions about the schedule in your first message.
How do we book, and how far ahead should we enquire?
Contact Saul once you know your travel dates. Send your preferred experience, date, group size and any alternative dates that work. He will confirm availability, the quote and how to reserve. An enquiry by itself does not confirm a booking.
Which payment, cancellation and rescheduling terms apply?
Ask Saul to confirm the currency, accepted payment methods, any deposit and the cancellation or rescheduling terms for your booking before you pay. Keep the agreed details with your reservation confirmation.
What makes it different from a restaurant dinner?
You take part in preparing the food and then share the meal with your party and host. Choose it if cooking and conversation are part of what you want from the outing. If you are comparing activities, see our guide to cooking classes, food tours, asado dinners and wine tastings.
