Cooking Class - South American Flavors in Washington, D.C.

Chef Gustavo is great! He knows the history of the food as well as he knows about cooking it. It is wonderful!

this was the first time my family and I had ever taken a cooking class and he surpassed all expectations! I love Gustavo's background knowledge on the subject and that you can really tell he loves his craft and everything that comes with it. I'm so happy that we all had a great time and connected with our similar backgrounds and culture!

Chef Gustavo was great and gave us a lot of good information. Can't wait to try the recipes at home.

Absolutely loved class! My mom, two sisters, and I went and had the best time. Chef Gustavo is so knowledgeable and fun and the food was incredible! We learned so much and cannot wait to try the dishes at home.

Fun evening with Chef Gustavo! Great recipes and I really appreciated his stories about how food and culture entwine.

Chef Gustavo was great and not only did we learn how to make the dishes, but also the history and culture behind the dishes. Additionally, I have a food allergy and he made the necessary (and authentic!) adjustments so I could cook and also eat. Highly recommend!

Warm. Welcoming. Well-traveled. Chef Gustavo welcomed us into his home and shared his love of South American cuisine. From the tips to how best prep ingredients for multiple recipes to the sharing of cultural stories and knowledge, we learned so much, had inspiring conversation, and helped to prepare delicious food. This was the perfect Christmas present for my husband! We look forward to practicing what we learned and making some South American inspired meals.

The class was very informative, the menu was delicious, and the perfect amount of food. Learning how to make arepas, empanadas, and ceviche was really easy with Chef Gustavo teaching!

This was just an amazing class! I learned so much history and great cooking techniques. Thank you so much again Chef Gustavo!!

Fantastic date night experience! Chef Gustavo was great! Highly recommend! I definitely plan on taking another class from him in the future!

What an incredible night! We celebrated our office holiday party with Chef Gustavo and it was a night filled with laughter, wonderful conversation, delicious food and inspiring cooking tips. Chef Gustavo is an accomplished chef, and his passion was infectious. We all left feeling happy and motivated to try some new recipes. It was a very special time, and we are grateful to have had the pleasure of Chef Gustavo's company and expertise. Highly recommend this wonderful class - it's like traveling to South America without leaving DC :)

It ended up being just my partner and I in this class. Very relaxing and informative experience with Chef Gustavo, in his home kitchen. Class flowed effortlessly between stories/instructions/advice, helping prepare ingredients, Q&As, and eating each part of the meal. I highly recommend!

¡Gracias! We had an amazing time.

Chef Gustavo was so kind and created such a fun environment! He is extremely knowledgeable in South American cuisine, and it was such a fun date night!

We had a great time! The food was delicious and we learned a lot too. Thank you, Chef Gustavo.

Chef Gustav is a delightful host. Not only was the food fun and delicious but Chef shared his knowledge of the cultural aspects of the dishes we made as well. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience. Chef Gustavo was very welcoming and informative and we really enjoyed learning about the origins of the different dishes we prepared. Will definitely be coming back for the Paella class in the near future.

Cooking with Chef Gustavo was a real pleasure and the food we made together was delicious! He clearly loves, and has a deep connection to, South American cuisine and I am very glad we got to experience it. Thank you Chef!
