Do it! - Fernando was a great teacher! Really fun experience! Glad we did it, nice balance of fun with explanations of why we do things the way we do. Heads up that this is more like a 2 hours 10 min experience if the group is bilingual. No issues for us but just so you budget enough time.

Delicious, Hands-On, and Great for the Whole Family - We had such a great experience with this Peruvian cooking class. The instruction was clear, friendly, and hands-on, and I left feeling genuinely empowered to recreate what we learned at home. The ceviche we made was absolutely delicious, and I especially loved seeing my kids become comfortable and confident cooking lomo over an open flame. It was fun, approachable, and a wonderful way for our family to experience Peruvian food and culture together. Highly recommended!
