The adventure starts driving downtown to La Vega, a renowned market famous with locals who crowd the stalls from dawn until early afternoon each day. After exploring the market maze and admiring the variety of fruits, vegetables, cheeses, spices, meats etc., we start picking out ingredients for a menu to be prepared later with our chef-guide. We cross over the bridge to the other side of the Mapocho river and head to nearby Mercado Central, a fresh fish market with wondeful architecture, popular with locals and tourists alike. Here we select the final ingredients for our tasty Chilean meal before driving uptown to the chef's house.
When we arrive we start to prepare our chosen meal in the chef's specially-designed kitchen. While ingredients are simmering away we enjoy a tasty Chilean cocktail and talk with the chef about the ingredients, their provenance and their relationship to Chilean culture. We enjoy some delicious appetizers with our aperitif and then sit down to the main meal to enjoy the fruits of our labour!
Satisfied from our downtown exploration, the home-cooked food and good Chilean wine, we are driven back to our hotel to rest.
