Great Experience! - Our instructor was so sweet and helped strangers who had never met before connect. He was bilingual and very friendly and we really appreciated how even though the class was meant to take 3 hours, our instructor Paul never rushed us or the experience. We got to see the market, try new fruits from Latan America and make delicious dishes! It was definitely one of my favorite memories in Cusco!

Great Peruvian cooking class - I arrived to the class solo, and joined other people taking the class. Chef Javi took us to the market, we had a really nice tour with explanations, and bought ingredients for the cooking part. Then we cooked 3 course meal, had some fresh fruit to try, and made pisco sour. Very fun activity, great chef, and great food! I highly recommend

One of the best cooking classes I've ever had - Pete was an amazing teacher and he's a great person too. I was in the class by myself and eventually got elevation sickness ans he helped me by providing some tea and took things slow. Asides that, I really enjoyed the class and the food itself was yummy! If you're considering this, do it!!!

SCAM. Worst experience... - SCAM. Worst experience ever. Pete forgot almost every ítem on the list for the menu, algo the things que bought were not enough, if you drop an egg they would go again to buy it. He should buy for those cases. My friend had to cook salted beef and the only thing he did was peel a potato and cut a tomato. Its supposed to be a cooking class and he didnt teach anything, just gave instructions fairly unclear. I could write a lot, but the thing is just dont fall, this is a scam.
