| More testimonial about Cooking With TeresitaI have traveled the world and I can tell you can not find nicer people than the owners of Teresita B&B. I love to cook and opted to take the 6 lessons. Everyday was a new adventure in cooking, we used only the finest freshest ingredients and then, the best part, we sat down to the wonderful meal we had just prepared. What more can you ask for, good weather (even in winter), good food and new friends. Having never been to Argentina I was not sure what to expect, Teresita answered many of my questions before I left and certainly put me at ease. The cottage is spectacular, tucked into the lush garden you will feel you are on an island. The town of Adroque is also very inviting with its great shops and restaurants. The prices are lower than Buenos Aires shops, but the big city is only 40 minutes away if you want to go. I cannot remember a more relaxing vacation! Teresita's driver Buddha will pick you up at the airport and take you back, another thing NOT to worry about. Of all the places I have ever stayed this B& B gets my highest rating. If you are looking for a relaxing vacation and want to see what Argentina is really like stay here, and you've got to learn to make the Empanadas it is a life changing experience!!
My husband and I came to Buenos Aires in May to live, eat and drink like the "portenos" do. After settling into our apartment in Palmero, roaming through luscious food and wine stores, and experimenting with different cuts of meat and food products in my small kitchen, I was ready to find out the secrets to making the delicious small empanadas that are sold as doughnuts are in the States or as tortillas are in Mexico. I also wanted to try my hand at Quickly found the web site for Teresita's cooking classes which are held in her lovely and comfortable home in a southern suburb of Buenos Aires. Teresita, fluent in Spanish and English, easily led me to select the appropriate classes over the phone. It would be Empanadas one morning and Asado (Argentian barbecue) another morning. Easy access exists to her suburb by train from Buenos Aires or Terisita will arrange for a car and driver (her very charming next door neighbor) to transport you from your lodging to her home and back. Both cooking classes were informal, comfortable and full of information. The classes were "hands-on," working side by side with Teresita, an experienced cook, with time to sip good Argentinean wine while creating empanadas, both baked and deep fried. The class on barbecue techniques started with a visit to the local butcher shop so that all the different, local cuts of meat became familiar and less daunting. Then back to the house to prepare and cook (over a real fire in the fireplace, as it was cold outside) sweet breads, offal, sausage, and the delicious ribs required in every Argentinan parrillas or asadores. The classes were full of useful tips, informative, fun, and most important easy to replicate back at our apartment. Don't forget to enjoy eating all you cooked, served with appropriate Argentina wines!Susan Shick, USA
