Best money I spent on this trip - I had a most lovely time learning to cook with Abigail and Johan. Abigail did such an excellent job explaining both the cooking process and the influences that go into Peruvian cuisine. On top of this, the food that we made has been my favorite of this entire trip! I could not recommend highly enough.

Delicious class - highly recommend - ceviche and lomo saltado - My boyfriend and I had a beautiful and super tasty cooking class with Abigail! We visited the market, tasted some local fruits and made 2 dishes + Pisco Sour while Abigail told us some history and culture of Peru. It delivered everything you want in a cooking class - cleanliness, culture and delicious food.
This was the first activity we did in Peru and we learnt a lot just talking to Abigail. The ceviche and lomo Saltado were delicious.
Highly recommend for everyone to try in Cusco! 🥰🥰

Cooking class Abigail and Johan - Had a great time with chef Abigail and her assistant Johan. After tasting special local friuts, Abigail took us to San Pedro market to buy local produce, and provided captivating explanations about the different goods sold at the market.
We then prepared delicious pisco sour, cevice and lomo saltado. The vegeterian versions were great (perhaps even better then the originals), with mango cevice to mushroom lomo saltado.
We finished the meal with a sweet treat - chocolate prepared in the next door chocolate boutique.
An excellent experience overall!

So glad I did it - Surprised I was the only one in the class and so grateful they did it with just me. I only booked the night before. It was excellent learning about the foods, going to the market to walk around and understand more about lifestyle. Thanks Brian for taking care of me.

It's definitely worth it: delicious time shared and recipes easy to make at home! - Great time shared as a couple!...even if my husband was not excited at the start To accompany me 😄 In the end we feasted! Abigaël's very professional explanations with lots of smiles and patience with amateurs! And technical assistance and very clean cooking thanks to Johan!
