This experience is beyond... - This experience is beyond my expectation! When we arrived, Christiana greeted us warmly. Once all the guests settled in, we started with fruits taster, we had a lot of interactions to identify each fruit. Then we moved to the “marketplace” with her explanation of each ingredients . The third session is preparing our appetizers, again this is so much fun. The fourth is our main course, finally we made our pisco sour and cocktail. This cooking class is more than food, it gave us a deeper understanding of Peruvian food, its culture, agriculture, fusion and geography. Christina’s enthusiasm and passion highlights this class! This experience enriches my appreciation of Peruvian food and its history.

Incredible Hands-On Peruvian Cooking Class in Cusco - An amazing educational and hands-on culinary experience in Cusco! Fernando keeps the class fun and engaging while teaching authentic Peruvian cooking techniques. The ceviche and lomo saltado were outstanding, and the Pisco sours were a perfect 10/10. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. It’s family-friendly, great for couples, food lovers, or anyone wanting to learn about Peruvian culture and cuisine. Worth every penny and definitely one of the best things to do in Cusco! Highly recommended!

An unforgettable culinary experience - What an amazing experience this was!! Jose Luis was knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and so much fun. He was eager to not only explain the art of Peruvian cooking but also its fascinating history, and ways to incorporate Peru's unique fruits, vegetables and condiments. I came away so enriched by this experience. Would highly recommend it to any person interested in Peru's exquisite cuisine
