The Best Viator Tour I've Ever Taken! - What a fun afternoon. The market and all its fruits were fascinating, and the cooking was fun, interactive and not hard at all. We had a nice group of folks to hang out with and share stories, along with the good food. Our guide and our chef were super sweet. We left full and very, very happy. Can't recommend it enough.

Delicious food, learned a lot and morning well spent! - Stefano was a very knowledgeable guide and I learnt a lot about local produce from him. Ruth was a great chef who knew her craft and taught me some useful techniques that I will carry home with me. Overall I learnt a lot, had a great time cooking and of course the food and presentation was lovely!

Fun Peruvian cooking class in Lima - We loved tasting delicious new fruits, trying many potato species and learning how to prepare our new favourite dish, ceviche. Many thanks to Gabriela and to our professional chef, for making the class fun, with music, a little dancing, and great cooking tips.

Perfect introduction to Peruvian food - This was an amazing tour to get an introduction to the amazing Peruvian cuisine. I was the only one on thr tour so it got a private tour experience. Sandy was an amazing tour guide and walked me through th market and served as the sous chef. The chef was wonderful and walked me through all the nuances of Peruvian cuisine. The food itself was worth dying for. We made a festival of fruits, festival of potatoes with two kinds of sauces, sea bass ceviche, and shredded chicken in Peruvian chili sauce. The whole experience was perfection from start to end. Highly recommend.

Introduction to eating in Peru - Aaron and Chef Ruth too such good care of us, the introduction to the foods of Peru (most unique) at the market was so fun and informative. Then we started cooking! Aprons, cutting boards and knives to help with preparation. Education along the way. First we enjoyed the exotic fruit of Peru after learning about them at the market. The our fantastic appetizer, ceviche and chicken. The sauces were unbelievable fresh and tasty. Not as spicy as we thought. We are excited to share our learnings when we get home. This a great way to acclimated and learn about Peru.
