Personalized amazing - He customized our food experienced with mango since we didn’t want to eat raw fish with the ceviche. And he brewed tea and took me to a pharmacy when he suspected I had the stomach bug. Incredible experience. Very friendly.

Great cooking class in Cusco - I would recommend this class to anyone! Dael allowed the particiants to slice, dice and taste test the food. There was a vegan in the class so some recipes were modified for this person and those modifications tasted great. It was an enjoyable, relaxing day and I learned so much able the local dishes and produce.

Connection, Passion, Fun! - We booked the 9-1 tour with Mauricio and to our surprise we were the only ones on the tour so he ended up being a private guide! He was so knowledgeable, friendly, and we loved our time. It was particularly cool to do our shopping in the market, it made us feel connected to the meals we were making. Did well in guiding the cooking, we made a large variety of traditional and fusion dishes (and I mean LARGE variety— come hungry!) with all recipes sent to us at the end. Cannot recommend this enough!

Our chef was amazing! - We loved it! Our chef was amazing. We especially loved the local market part of our experience. Peruvian cuisine has lots of different tastes and learning them was an adventure itself. All the dishes were delicious but our favorite was traditional ceviche. We will make it to our guests from now on.

Great Food - Our chef Dael was amazing. The food was phenomenal. The experience was priceless. From the market tour to the desert we were made to feel as part of the family. as an American, there were a few things that stood out that I was not used to. All of the meat at the market are laying out at room temperature and handled by several people without gloves prior to the purchase. The studio where we made the meal did not have running water instead they used a water jug to wash your hands. I did not get sick from the experience. I did see lots of cross-contamination happening. with that being said, I’m still giving five stars because that is a cultural difference between the United States and South America.

Great Class! - Amazing class! We met at the market and learned about its opening as well as how the stalls were arranged. Had the absolute best time listening to our chef explain foods, prep, and traditional Peruvian cuisine.
What made this class stand above and beyond was the issue I had the day of our class. I did not feel well and they kindly allowed us to reschedule for the next morning or evening based on what we preferred. We had a chocolate making class so we chose the earlier class.
Highly recommend this course. Our instructors name was Dael Rozas Calderon. He was very easy to understand and follow.
