The Flavors You'll Taste

Pisco Sour

Craft Peru’s national cocktail to velvety perfection — pisco, fresh lime, simple syrup, and egg white foam, topped with aromatic bitters.

Classic Ceviche

Sustainably sourced fish cubed and “cooked” in fresh lime juice, tossed with red onion, cilantro, and cancha for textural contrast.

Causa Limeña

Delicate layers of seasoned potato terrine, brightened with lime and ají amarillo, filled with your choice of chicken or avocado.

Anticuchos de Corazón

Beef-heart skewers, marinated in spices and grilled to smoky tenderness.

Ají de Gallina

Tender shredded chicken bathed in a velvety, mildly spicy yellow-ají sauce, served over jasmine rice.

Suspiro a la Limeña

Rich caramel-style dulce de leche topped with silky, port-infused meringue — Peru’s iconic melt-in-your-mouth dessert.

Bottled Water

Stay refreshed and hydrated throughout the experience.

Fresh Tropical Juices

Pressed from seasonal fruits like passionfruit, mango, or pineapple — bright, zesty, and refreshing.

Nuts

A crunchy, savory snack to balance your drinks — simple, wholesome, and satisfying.

...The Pisco Sour I mixed myself was the best one I had in Peru.

via GetYourGuide ★ 5.0

We were at altitude and had been a little slow all day — but once we got into the kitchen something shifted. The instructor handed everyone a task right away, no awkward standing around. Someone made the Pisco Sours, someone else started the sauce, and before long the whole room smelled incredible and everyone was talking. The food we cooked was genuinely good — better than things we'd eaten at restaurants in Cusco — and we made it ourselves, which somehow made it taste better...

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes this cooking class worth booking instead of just going to a restaurant?

This is much more than a meal. You’ll cook with a local host, learn authentic techniques, hear the stories behind the dishes, and leave with skills, memories, and a much deeper connection to the local culture.

What if my plans change?

We know travel plans can shift. That’s why we offer flexible support, including rescheduling whenever possible. And if your experience doesn’t feel like a 5-star experience, we’ll make it right.

Who leads the class?

Your class is led by a local host with real culinary knowledge and a strong connection to the destination’s food culture. Depending on the experience, your host may be a chef, skilled cook, or local food expert who shares both techniques and stories along the way.

Can you accommodate dietary restrictions?

Yes. We can usually adapt for most dietary needs if you let us know in advance, including vegetarian, pescatarian, and dairy-free requests. The main exception is strict gluten-free or celiac requirements, since we cannot guarantee zero cross-contamination.

Is this a small-group class?

Yes. Our classes are designed for small groups of up to 12 guests, so the atmosphere stays personal, social, and easy to follow.

Is this class right for beginners?

Absolutely. Our classes are designed to be fun and approachable for all skill levels, whether you cook all the time or hardly ever step into a kitchen.

Where does the class start, and is it easy to get there?

After booking, our booking manager will send you clear step-by-step instructions, including the exact meeting point, arrival tips, and the easiest way to get there. In most cases, it’s very easy to reach by Uber.
