Argentinian Cooking Online w/ Mirta

Learn to make pillow-soft gnocchi, fresh pesto sauce, and a zesty oregano, tomato, onion, and avocado salad!

Since Mirta can’t physically welcome you into her home, she wants to do so virtually!

Our online classes are designed to be special, meaningful opportunities to share cooking, culture, and connection--just like our real life experiences. We want you to cook along, and we promise there will be plenty of time for questions, conversation, and stories. It will all end with a virtual dinner party where you'll get to share in the fruits of your labor, apart, but together!

In this 2.5 hour interactive online experience Mirta will guide you through making two of her family recipes: gnocchi al pesto (pillowy soft potato pasta tossed in a homemade fresh pesto), and a zesty salad made with tomatoes, onions, avocado, and oregano.

Here’s how it works:

• After registration you’ll receive an email with the Zoom link, shopping list, equipment list, and recipe packet.
• At the scheduled time of your class, you’ll click on the Zoom link and join your class live! Afterwards, you will receive a link to a video recording of your class that you can revisit at your leisure.
