A must do in Cusco for food lovers! - If it’s your first time in Cusco, this is a great way to become familiar with local cuisine while enjoying a delicious meal. I learned so much about Peruvian ingredients during the fruit tasting, market experience, and pisco tasting. Then, we moved on to preparing ceviche and lomo saltado - both of which were tasty and fun to make. Fernando was an excellent host and I felt like it was the perfect mix of education, fun, and food!

Fernando! - My family had a lot of fun with this cooking class! My favorite part was getting to cook lomo saltado in a wok on full flame because that’s something I won’t get to do at home. Fernando was really friendly and great at explaining the history and uses of a huge variety of Peruvian ingredients.

Fernando the Great - Amazing experience. So fun. Fernando was our chef and made us laugh while teaching us about Peruvian cuisine. We had a great time making our own food but really just enjoyed our time together.

Very good experience and pretty unique. - The chef Fernando welcomed us with a review of the Péruvien ingrédients and then introduced us to the savory of Peru. His humor and friendliness was all needed to have a good time but the drinking intermission came in clutch to enjoy it even more.
