After you meet your hosts Ivania and Carlos at their home, they will drive you to the La Vega Central market. It is Santiago’s main market with a wide variety of products and fresh fruit and vegetables from the Chilean Central Valley. The market is bright, colorful and bustling with activity! Ivania and Carlos will teach you about the local ingredients and how they are used in Chilean cuisine, and fill you in on the history behind the country’s diverse cooking.After your market tour, you will join your hosts in their small kitchen for a fun hands-on cooking class.These two are very excited to introduce you to the diversity of Chilean food and culture, and feel the happiest when people leave their home with a full belly and a smile on their faces! During your class (that will last for about two hours), you will learn to prepare 2-3 authentic homemade Chilean dishes that you will later share with Ivania and Carlos at their dining table.
