Santiago’s cooking classes offer practical ways to learn authentic Chilean cuisine. The best options combine market visits with hands-on cooking sessions. A standout experience is the countryside class 30 minutes from the city, where you’ll cook traditional dishes in a family setting. We especially like the small-group classes in local homes – they’re intimate and include shopping at neighborhood markets. Another solid choice is the downtown Santiago cooking school, perfect for learning classic recipes in a professional setting.
