Learn to Cook Peruvian Cuisine with an Accomplished Professional Chef & Culinary Instructor - Accomplished professional chef and culinary instructor, Raphael, provided an exceptional Peruvian cooking class experience. He is very personable, as well as clearly knowledgeable and skilled in the culinary arts. Instruction included detailed explanation and demonstration for the making of Pisco Sours, Cerviche, Causa, and Lomo Saltado, with added focus on proper and appealing presentation of each dish. (I was under the impression that the class would consist of mostly hands-on participation, and would have preferred more opportunities to do so.) The complete recipes were emailed to me after the class. Overall, it was a fun, worthwhile, and satisfying experience.

Amazing Peruvian cooking experience - Top notch experience. Very nice locale. Rafael, the chef, was both didactic and entertaining and taught us how to make first pisco sour, then ceviche, causa limeña, and lomo saltado. It all turned out so great. To finish it off we got lukuma ice cream for dessert. Can definitely recommend this class.

Peruvian cooking experience - I had an amazing experience with Chef Rafael. He was charismatic, welcoming, and made the entire class both fun and engaging. I learned how to prepare classic Peruvian dishes like pisco sour, ceviche, causa limeña, and lomo saltado, and he explained each step clearly while sharing cultural insights behind the food. The atmosphere was relaxed and interactive, which made it easy to enjoy the process and ask questions. Everything we made was delicious, and it felt very authentic. I would definitely recommend this experience to anyone visiting Lima who wants a hands-on introduction to Peruvian cuisine.

Worth every single penny! - Book this class! The chef is so sweet and really great at what he does. Not only do you get to become somewhat of an expert at 3 major Peruvian platters but you kind of get the history behind how they came to be. The Lomo Saltado was incredible!! And definitely don't get that well done (though I'm sure it'll still taste good).
