Top Peru Cooking Classes

This was an excellent cooking class. I’ve taken cooking classes in a couple of countries, but this might be my favorite. The communication was clear and recipes were delicious. Our guide, Ronal, had carefully orchestrated the instructions and timing of all of the cooking processes so that we were engaged for the duration of the almost 4 hr class. There was a brief history of cooking in Peru and contributions from other cultures. Then we went to the market and did some shopping which was very entertaining and informative. We learned to chop and dice in the proper way. We learned which limes to use for cooking as opposed to drinking. The ceviche recipe was packed with interesting ingredients, not found in a traditional ceviche. It was delicious.

Absolutely wonderful experience. Our guide was friendly, funny, and full of knowledge of the culture & cuisine of the area. Learning about the markets around town, some local cuisine and how to prepare them was a true highlight of the trip. I highly recommend doing this.

This was a really nice class. I enjoyed the market tour and all the fruits and cheeses we got to try at the start of the class. The host was so lovely. A great experience for the price. You have a drink included and an appetizer and dinner and just a fun learning experience for like $50 usd. Highly recommend

Loved walking through the markets. Learned a lot about Peruvian cooking and culture.

review Wow! Our kids absolutely loved this experience, ranking it their second favorite activity of our Peru trip — only thing they enjoyed more was seeing capybaras in the jungle. The market tour was super interesting and we absolutely loved tasting all of the Peruvian fruits and local cheeses. The class itself was much more in depth than I expected. We prepared the whole meal from chopping vegetables to flambéing the lomo saltado on the stove. It turned out to be a really good meal, and the maracuya pisco sours we made (mocktails for the kids) were the best pisco sours we had in Peru. The instructor had a good sense of humor and did a great job leading the class in both English and Spanish. He also did a really good job with our kids, who were the only students under 18 in the class. We can’t wait to have our friends over for dinner to make all of the dishes we learned to cook in this class. A fun and interactive way to learn about Cusco and Peruvian culture. It was also very nice that everyone prepared their own portions, so the meal was completely customizable for each student. My daughter was able to make a vegetarian ceviche while the rest of the family made a meat dish.

Overall, fun cooking experience. The food and drinks we created were quite tasty and enjoyable. The instructor took us to the local market to buy the ingredients. He explained the Peruvian ingredients and made the overall cooking very enjoyable.

The market your and the cooking class were outstanding! I learned a lot about the local markets and had the opportunity to try so many tasty local fruits, breads, etc. The cooking class was quite easy to follow, and you won’t ever get too far behind. The cocktails are a solid plus too. I 100% recommend this tour and cooking class!!

Learned so much about Peruvian ingredients and cooking with a knowledgeable, clearly experienced chef. 10/10, highly recommend. Also provided helpful tips and agua de florida to help with altitude sickness.

Great experience with a local chef ! Tasting incredible local dishes !

The tour of the market and the fruit and vegetable venders was very informative. Ronal purchased many fruits for us to try. The pisco sour was a nice surprise and we will be making the recipes at home.

Enriching visit to the San Pedro market located very close to the class location. Ronal explains well how to organize ourselves to prepare the chosen dishes. The kitchen is very pleasant and clean.

Great cooking class with Ronal: everything was well explained and organized All followed by a tasting of our dish!

Ronal was an excellent guide and head chef to our cooking class. He is professionally trained and was great with my kids. The food was better than the fancy restaurant at our hotel. Thank you!

Brilliant from start to finish: market visit, explanations, preparation of ingredients and dishes, and obviously the tasting… a treat! I highly recommend this experience.

Sensational. Worth the experience. To begin with, we went to the market to buy the ingredients and Ronal presented the variety of fruits, vegetables, etc. that are part of Peruvian cuisine. Then, in the preparation, he shows the techniques and explains the reasons for each dish and its ingredients. The four hours passed quickly.
