Buenos Aires · Two-Day Intensive

What Nelmado Does

You cook spectacularly.
We help you understand if you're actually making money.

Most food entrepreneurs in Argentina know their recipes inside out — but when it comes to costs, the numbers stay blurry. Nelmado's workshops change that, using the prices from this week's Mercado Central, not a textbook from another country.

Real Portions, Weighed

We don't estimate — we measure. Every ingredient in your recipes gets weighed and priced using current local market data.

Full Cost Calculation

Gas, packaging, delivery fees, and your own labor time — all factored into every recipe cost, not just the raw ingredients.

A Price List That Works

You leave with a real pricing structure that covers your costs, builds in a margin, and won't push your customers away.

Mercado Central Prices

We use the actual prices from Buenos Aires's Mercado Central this week — not outdated figures from a foreign textbook.

Built for Entrepreneurs

This is not an accounting course. We don't prepare balance sheets. We work with people who cook and need practical answers.

Two Focused Days

Intensive, hands-on, and structured so that by the end of day two you have a working tool — not just theory to apply later.

The Method

From recipe to price — step by step, with your own dishes.

Every activity in the workshop uses your actual recipes, your real suppliers, and the prices you pay today. Nothing is hypothetical.
