Educational, tasty and fun! - We felt like something other than culture and to combine the useful with the pleasant (you have to eat anyway) we did this cooking workshop including a visit to the market. Nice to do, top visit to market with info and tasting. Nice food and learned something again. Recommended 👍

Fantastic - Everything was more than excellent! Fantastic! Chef Jesús shares his culinary secrets of Peruvian cuisine, making this experience completely worth it! The market tour and the cooking class for lomo saltado, papa a la huancaina, pisco sour, and the delicious Picarones dessert... is a complete experience through the flavors of Peru, I recommend it to everyone, if you are in Cusco, book this experience!!!

Highly recommend! - We took a cooking class from Peruvian Cusco Flavors with Chef Jesus. Start to finish it was a 5/5 star rating. Communication was clear. They sent me a message the day before-clarifying the meeting point and time. In addition, Chef Jesus sent a message via WhatsApp as well to f/u an hour prior to the scheduled meet up. Highly appreciated and considerate. Very responsive when I messaged him back. He took us around the San Pedro Market, explained everything and had some fruit/cheese/chocolate tasting. Walked to the cooking class studio right after. The studio was very clean and organized. He showed us how to make a pisco sour using passion fruit (so tasty!), papa ala huancayna and lomo saltado (both very flavorful). Chef Jesus made it such a chill vibe-it was like hanging/cooking with your brother but more patient lol! He showed us how to cut the proper way to cut the fruit and veggies, plate the food, and decorate the pisco sour too! We lucked out as we happened to be the only ones at that time. We had a super fun experience learning with Chef Jesus at Peruvian Cusco Flavors! Don’t miss this one when you’re in Cusco🫶

Brilliant way to spend an evening in Cuzco - I would really recommend this cooking class if you have some time when in Cuzco. Jesus was great fun, and taught us a lot about Peruvian culture and cuisine. Firstly we went for a walk through the market and he gave us an insight into the local foods and customs. We also got to try samples. The food we made was delicious. I would recommend to go a little hungry as the portions are big.

Yummy dinner - Shared a lot of information about the, where they come from how to cook them. Hands-on cooking not just a demonstration and the food was delicious. And I learned how to make a passionfruit pico sour.
