Peruvian Cooking Class in a home in Arequipa - My wife and I wanted to experience a cooking class in Peru so we booked in the Peruvian Cooking Class in Arequipa. Merisa and Maree welcomed us into their home and together we prepared our evening meal of 3 courses and the national drink, a Pisco Sour, all from instructions from them both. We then sat down and enjoyed our creations with them both with the whole experience being well organized with Maree translating for us as Marisa didn't speak English. The evening was warm and welcoming and both hosts were were fantastic. Highly recommend.

Lots of fun! - Julia and translator Leo were amazing. We had lots of fun making food and Pisco sour, and just chatting away. We made ceviche, causa de pollo and fruit salad. It was a lot of food so go empty stomach!

Cooking with Heart: An Authentic Peruvian Experience - We had an amazing experience at this Peruvian cooking class! We learned to prepare delicious traditional dishes with fresh, authentic ingredients, and every step was explained with clear, step-by-step guidance. Marisa and her daughter Maria were incredibly warm and welcoming – their hospitality made us feel right at home. They took plenty of time to answer questions, share cooking tips, and make sure we understood each stage of the process. It felt like cooking with family while discovering the rich flavors of Peru. I can’t recommend this class highly enough!

Great cooking class to get to know Peruvian cuisine - We were allowed to spend a great morning with Marissa and prepare the most famous Peruvian dishes (Ceviche, Causa Rellena and Pisco Sour) ourselves. She takes enough time for the participants and is super friendly and warm. Was definitely worth it and is recommended. For people who don't know Spanish, Fernando supports by translating everything perfectly into English;) In the end, you also get the recipes electronically, which makes the reproduction very easy.
