Class Description

Description

What you'll learn in this culinary class:

Learn to make traditional empanadas with Chef Manu, LIVE from Argentina!

We are thrilled to take advantage of the Zoomsphere to bring Chef Manu Escalante Posse from Buenos Aires into your home kitchen! He will teach you how to make one of Argentina's most notable dishes: empanadas. 

In addition to shaping and cooking your own batch of savory treats, you will learn about the regional variations of empanadas throughout Argentina and South America. 

You'll make:

  • 12 empanadas Argentinas (with meat or vegetable filling) 

HOW THESE VIRTUAL CLASSES WORK:

1) After registering, you will be sent a link to log into the class at the appointed date/time. 

2) Two days before the class you will be sent a copy of the recipes we'll be making, so you can cook
them again after the class.

3) Classes are 90 minutes and will have a maximum of 10 households attending each session. 

4) If you want to cook alongside friends or family, please invite them to join you, using the link in your confirmation.

School Notes:  

For NYC In-Person Classes:

You’ll receive a complete recipe packet and enjoy a full sit-down meal at the end of class with your classmates. Our classes are BYOB, and you are welcome to bring a bottle to enjoy at the sit-down meal (not including our baking or dessert classes).

Our classes are hands-on, coupled with demonstration-style teaching. Everyone is situated at their own cutting board/chef’s knife station around a large wooden work table that accommodates the whole class (10 people max). We work together as a group, with the chef at the head of the table.

We focus on knife skills, preparing ingredients for cooking, and we strive to find every opportunity to offer you a hands-on experience at the stove and at your station, all within the spatial parameters of a single stove/family-style kitchen. We ask for volunteers to assist in all cooking.

Refund Policy

For Public Classes:

We have a firm business days cancellation policy (for credit only) to ensure that we have enough time to re-fill your seat with another student.

Please note: Boot Camps require business days notice to be rescheduled.

While it is not in our nature to say no, we are simply not able to accommodate last-minute illnesses or work-related conflicts. However, you are always welcome to send someone in your place, because we understand that these things do happen.

Classes are not refundable.

For Culinary Boot Camps:

Because of the volume of Boot Camps we offer, we cannot offer make-up classes to everyone who misses a class, as it happens too often. As a consolation we have two options for making up missed classes, provided you alert us ahead of time.

  • Send a friend in your place (and make them cook you a meal based on their new skills, as repayment!), or
  • Opt for our “Plan B” program: You can register for any single class that covers the same/similar coursework you missed, provided it still has an open seat 48 hours before it runs. That way you can take another class and we are just filling empty seats. Please note, this is a last-minute, drop-in option, not something that can be scheduled more than 2 days in advance. This does require that you keep tabs on our schedule to see what is available (the number of open seats is part of every class listing).

In any event where a customer wants to cancel their enrollment and is eligible for a full refund, a 5% processing fee will be deducted from the refund amount.

Thank you for understanding!

    Anonymous review on 1/24/2021
    It was fun and the chef was good. This class required a lot of steps and ingredients- the information sent out ahead of time needs to be more detailed and the syllabus and actual recipe should be sent out earlier, as the shopping list and items used in the recipe were not the same. But most importantly, it would have been helpful to know what should be chopped, measured out or already prepared prior to the start of class- as it was, it was very difficult to keep apace of the steps as they happened in the class.
