Great foody experience! - This class was awesome! We met Dael at the market where we got a tour and tried various cheeses, breads, fruits, etc. Dael was very informative about local foods and customs. Then we went back to the studio and cooked a multi course meal that was really tasty. We also made Pisco Sours. It was great fun. Don’t miss this tour! There were 7 people which was a good number. I also appreciated all the info sent before the tour to make sure we could find it without any issues.

Memorable Meal - We've been to a lot of markets around the world, but as so many reviewers have said, this visit was especially fun because of the insight and education we got about local foods from the Chef Mauricio. Long reign Pisco sours. They were especially tasty. Had some good laughs about our cutting techniques and stirring abilities. Food was yummy. Company fun. Chef knowledgeable and good natured. Made me want to take more cooking classes in my travels.

Amazing evening, amazing food - Really good service and communication, had a nice stroll in the market (make sure to bring some cash), and then a private experience in the cooking studio. I was the only one who booked it for this day/time so had a great hands-on time making Peruvian food such as ceviche and potato pie.

So fun and interesting!... - So fun and interesting! Dael is very talented and knowledgeable. We learned a ton in a short amount of time. Touring the items at the market was very helpful. Excited to try these recipes on my own!

Interesting, tasty and fun morning learning about Peruvian food. - Our chef was very knowledgeable about fruit and veg in the market. He also helped us prepare a very tasty lunch using local fresh ingredients. The ‘3 different’ ceviches were delicious as was the hibiscus piscou sour.

A fantastic, authentic Peruvian cooking experience. - Mauricio walked us through the local market, introduced us to various vendors and their local food-stuffs, explaining everything. Then we walked back to his amazing studio and had a remarkably fun and tasty experience cooking and eating lovely Peruvian cuisine. Pro tip - don’t eat breakfast! Save room to enjoy your work!
