Shir was so welcoming into her home! She prepared us some authentic Argentine Yerba Mate. She told us about the social aspects of mate and then we moved on to the empanadas! They turned out delicious! Couldn’t recommend her class enough! We hope to be back one day and explore more of Buenos Aires...

Shir is a delight and we loved learning how to make delicious empandas! I will be using her recipes, as she prepared all in a nice travel sized booklet. We all agreed it was a wonderful experience and such a fun way to experience Argentinian culture with a knowledgeable and fun local.
