      Great Vegan Peruvian Experience!
      Ryn_M, Feb 2024
      This was an exceptional tour from the local markets to the kitchen's rooftop terrace overlooking the city. We were especially grateful that the chefs created a vegan version of their cooking class! Thank you for being a highlight of our trip!
      A great way to understand Peruvian food!

      Educational class which also allowed us to immerse ourselves in Peruvian culture. This class allowed us to identify foods as we continued our travels through South America.
      Tasty and fun!

      Delicious and amazing! The market tour is great. Really fun to try all the different fruit and potatoes that Peru has to offer. They prepare small portions of each so you don't entirely fill up before you start the cooking portion of the class. The food was surprisingly simple to cook, but when you have an amazing staff it all seems to go so smoothly, right? Highly recommend this experience, great way to learn about local dishes.
      Eat a country to learn it

      We were met at the market and showed around to the meat, fish, fruit, vegetable and staple stands. At each we received information about different local products. Local means Peruvian. A vast assortment. Many indigenous but also several imported. With this background we went to the cooking venue and began by making a Pisco sour after our 35 fruit taste and demo session. This drink and the 4 courses that followed were all hands on. We did the work, albeit amply helped by staff for washing up and ably directed by chef instructors. After each course we stopped and ate. Soooo good.We did only Peruvian dishes and with Peruvian ingredients. Several of my menu mysteries were cleared up and eating out in Peru became more fun. Also I now have a recipe collection to do at home. A wonderful experience! The cuisine of Peru is a significant part of the country. Yes visit the archeological sites but also eat Peru and this is an excellent way to do it.
