Amazing! - We were looking to something fun to do on our first day in Cuzco and this cooking class was perfect! We got to do a market tour, make some cocktails and cook as a group and try many new things! Definitely a wonderful way to start our trip and so much fun!

Simply the best! - Our experience with Dael was simply amazing! We were a bit low energy on our end, however Dael didn't let that get him down and brought a great energy (though not overwhelming). He has great knowledge of the culinary history of Peru was very eye opening and his skills in the kitchen top knotch!
