The baby shower problem, solved

Food the guest of honour can actually eat.

Baby showers come with a quiet challenge. The food has to be beautiful enough for the photos, easy to eat while holding a tea cup, and safe for the mum-to-be. Most catering covers two of the three. Empanadas cover all three. Bite-size, photogenic on a long table, fully cooked through, with a fully vegan Patagonia option for plant-based guests. Mum-to-be can eat anything on the platter without checking the menu.

They scale from an intimate afternoon for ten to a full venue for eighty. We deliver baked boxes timed to guest arrival. A frozen Party Box is also available when you specifically want to self-bake at 190°C in 18 to 22 minutes. Our empanadas contain no cured meats, no soft cheese, and nothing under-cooked. The Carnivore is slow-cooked grass-fed brisket, the Athlete is fully cooked free-range chicken with mozzarella, the Classic is a vegetarian three-cheese melt, and Patagonia is fully vegan with grilled mushroom and spinach.

Born in Bondi Beach from recipes Pedro's grandma perfected over fifty years. Grass-fed beef, free-range chicken, proper cheeses, signature green dough on the Patagonia. Halal requirements can be discussed through a custom quote. Argentum does not currently make gluten-free empanadas. For larger custom events, externally sourced gluten-free items, sides or desserts may be discussed, with a clear cross-contact disclaimer.

Common questions

Everything you'd want to know.

Are empanadas pregnancy-friendly?

Our empanadas are baked through at 190C until the filling reaches a high internal temperature. They contain no cured meats, no soft cheese, and nothing raw. The Carnivore is slow-cooked grass-fed brisket, the Athlete is fully cooked chicken, the Classic is a hard-cheese melt, and Patagonia is fully vegan. As always, we recommend confirming with the mum-to-be's healthcare provider for any specific dietary guidance during pregnancy.

How many empanadas for a baby shower?

As a rough guide: alongside other food, 2 to 3 per person. As a cocktail main, 3 to 4 per person. As the full lunch, 4 to 5 per person. For 25 guests at cocktail format, the Corporate Box is usually the call.

Do you have vegan and vegetarian options?

Yes. Patagonia is fully vegan with signature green dough, made with grilled mushroom, spinach, kale, carrot, and potato cheese. The Classic is vegetarian, three cheeses with caramelised onion. Both work as standalone options for plant-based guests.

Baked or frozen for a shower?

Most shower catering orders go out baked, delivered ready to serve and timed to guest arrival. The frozen Party Box is a separate self-bake option when you want to cook on site or keep the timing flexible.

Are they suitable for kids?

Yes. The Classic three-cheese is the kid favourite, mild and comforting. Carnivore is also a hit with older kids. Smaller portions, no allergen surprises, no mess. We can flag any specific allergens at booking.

How much notice do you need?

Allow at least 48 hours where possible. For larger showers or custom requirements, a week is ideal. Use our contact form and we will confirm what is possible.
