Taste the traditional Peruvian food from your own hands with the cooking classes where you will have the advice of an expert chef. This tour can be taken in two schedules, in the morning at 9:00 AM so at the end you can have lunch what you prepared, or in the afternoons at 3:00 PM to finish with dinner.

At the end of your class you will be able to prepare a starter, a main course, a dessert and two classic drinks (alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks). After the classes you will become an expert of Peruvian cuisine so that you can replicate it when you get home.

Your classes begin with a visit to the traditional San Pedro market to learn a little more about the ingredients used to prepare the dishes. In this market the stalls are very organized and divided by areas, the most colorful is the fruit area, a true carnival of colors.

Once in the classes the chef will show you the work area and the kitchen tools that you will use in the preparation of your dishes.

For lunch you will prepare a delicious “Aji de Gallina” that is prepared with boiled and shredded chicken, with spicy yellow pepper sauce, very traditional in Peru, you can also prepare ceviche with fresh fish and seafood marinated with lemon juice, a delight for your lunch, but if you decide to prepare your dinner, the main dish will be a delicious lomo saltado, a Chinese-Peruvian fusion dish, incorporated into Peruvian cuisine due to the immigration of Chinese citizens to Peru who brought the soy sauce that gives a special flavor to Peruvian food. The lomo saltado is prepared with beef marinated with the “Sillao” (soy sauce) that is sautéed with long thick red onion and tomato, all this preparation is served with white rice, another Chinese contributions to Peruvian food.
