Streamed directly from Argentina you'll feel as though you've landed yourself right in the heart of South America. Connect with different cultures and learn new skills, all from the comfort of your own home!

In this online cooking class, you will make traditional empanada dough from scratch and prepare two different fillings for the homemade empanadas.

The class was easy to follow and the empanadas were delicious. The teacher was friendly and gave plenty of cooking tips. He also had fun stories about how the locals eat their empanadas.

Teacher is fun and helpful, the empanadas taste good! We asked to be taught both the meat and vegetarian option and they were happy to accommodate us. It took about 15 minutes longer because of this but they were happy to see us through to the end.

Hi Chef Manu,
Thank you so much for the great workshop you did for our BrainLink Carers this morning. They all totally enjoyed the experience and we were all a bit shocked to hear you were actually in Argentina which made the experience even better.
These ladies all care for a loved one who lives with either an acquired brain injury or a neurological disorder like Parkinson's, Multiple Sclerosis or Motor Neuron Disease so their lives are full on and very stressful.
I have attached below some feedback from Sahar, one of the carers.
Cheers Karen, Manager Carer Services, BrainLink

OH MY LORD Karen! I didn't expect to go to Argentina this morning. My heart is leaping with a joy to the heavens and back. What a gift & blessing. A truly healing way to connect with another beautiful soul chef manu through food sharing via zoom during covid. Seriously stunning social healing for is all. Please copy my gratitude to Brainlink & it's massive wellbeing help & support it has given us as a group. I'm in tears because my small heart is so full. As carers when you think your routine of care giving defines possibilitiesyou have come along and shown usthere's still more life to enjoy. This is massive. I'm so grateful. Thank you kindly sincerely Sahar

I loved this class. I had already attended a cooking class by Tierra Negra Cooking in Buenos Aires and was really excited to join this online version. Manu is a great teacher and really personable and patient. The ingredient list was supplied with plenty of time and I had pre chopped everything so I was able to get maximum benefit from the class. My empanadas were really tasty and I look forward to making them again.
