A fantastic, authentic Peruvian cooking experience. - Mauricio walked us through the local market, introduced us to various vendors and their local food-stuffs, explaining everything. Then we walked back to his amazing studio and had a remarkably fun and tasty experience cooking and eating lovely Peruvian cuisine. Pro tip - don’t eat breakfast! Save room to enjoy your work!

Great cooking class in Cusco! - Dael was a great teacher and host! The mercado is huge and bustling, so it was really nice to have a knowledgable guide to help navigate and learn about all the different sections. The cooking class was a lot of fun - they have a very nice, well-equipped setup. The class had a great balance of hands-on cooking, while also having everything meticulously prepped and organized, so everything flowed really well. All the food tasted great and I learned a lot about Peruvian cuisine, I would definitely recommend this experience!

A fun emersion into Peruvian food culture and fantastic preparation of food and drink. - Started at the San Pedro Market place, we were escorted to various stands, got to try exoticfruits, cheese, bread, chocolate then a short walk to a well appointed studio we started with the pisco sour, juiced the fresh fruit and shook out delightful drinks. Mage a lovely Tamale with Quinoa with a layer of mushrooms and vegetables then cheese. Prepared several wonderful dishes chopping sautèimg and mixing a very hands on experience ended with a fantastic dessert and another drink. A beautiful few hours went by fast our chef Andreas was good at involving all kept the class entertained and ran an excellent class. A must do .

This was a really... - This was a really welcoming and friendly way to get to know Peruvian cuisine. We met at the market, our chef introduced us to local suppliers and explained how market life works.
We returned to the studio, made a Pisco Sour, and then set out making a four course meal using the produce we’d picked up that morning.
It was a really great experience.
