Chef Gustavo is ready to share his love of the sweet side of South American cuisine. Your senses will be filed with the texture, fragrance and warmth of cinnamon, creamy milk and crumbly pastry dough. You'll learn how to prepare traditional desserts and pastries using homemade dulce de leche. This silky smooth concoction will then be used to fill homemade Spanish choux-based churros and alfajores de maicena, an Argentinean sandwich cookie.
