Meet the cook, Teresita

"Tasting something new and exotic can be transformative"

"My classes are for those interested in learning more than just a recipe. They're for curious people like me. I always dreamed about taking cooking classes at a real person's kitchen. That's always been an interest of mine. Whenever I travel my main focus is always food. You learn so much about cultures by simply watching what people eat. And that's what I try to bring to each of my classes: a cultural experience that would never be achieved in a static and artificial classroom." - Teresita

Who is Teresita 

An expert in "comida criolla," native Latin American cuisine, Teresita's experience with Latin American cooking is vast. And her amazing skills for home-style cooking with the freshest regional ingredients come across in every dish she prepares.

Teresita love for Latin American cuisine started when she attended Aileen Bovio Cooking School  back in the 70's. She has also traveled extensively to remote villages observing and learning cooking techniques from south American indigenous people in remote areas in the north of Argentina, Bolivia, Paraguay and Chile. 

Teresita's passion for teaching is largely due to her background in education. For more than 20 years, she owned and supervised one of the leading grammar prep schools in Adrogue. It's because teaching is in her blood that she decided to open her kitchen and welcome those interested in learning the various techniques of one of the world's most exotic cuisines.

Favorite phrase of Teresita:  "Food reflects the tradition of a territory, its people, its history and the relations that have been established. [...]"

"Immerse yourself in our culture by eating and drinking as the locals do. Be prepared to roll up your sleeves for a hands-on experimentation in my kitchen. I will share regional techniques, ingredients, and family recipes that have been passed down over the generations. My experience and passion for food and wine inspired me to open my kitchen. I have created an intimate setting to provide a personalized learning environment." - Teresita
