Description

In this all-inclusive, 4-hour class, you’ll roll up your sleeves to prepare Peru’s national treasures, from zesty ceviche and layered causa limeña to sizzling anticuchos and velvety ají de gallina. Guided by a local chef, you’ll not only learn recipes but also the stories and traditions behind each bite. Feel the citrus tang of fresh-caught fish, smell the smoky skewers on the grill, and taste the sweet finale of suspiro a la limeña. No studio, no staged demo, this happens in the warmth of a Peruvian home, where cooking and eating are part of daily life. Groups are small (max 8), ensuring personal guidance, laughter, and plenty of chances to ask questions. Your finale? Shaking up a frothy Pisco Sour to toast your creations. Guests call it the highlight of their Lima trip, but spots fill quickly, so secure yours today. Sample Menu 1. Pisco Sour , Craft Peru’s national cocktail to velvety perfection—pisco, fresh lime, simple syrup and egg white foam, topped with aromatic bitters. 2. Classic Ceviche , Sustainably sourced fish cubed and “cooked” in fresh lime juice, tossed with red onion, cilantro and cancha for textural contrast. 3. Causa Limeña , Delicate layers of seasoned potato terrine, brightened with lime and ají amarillo, filled with your choice of chicken or avocado. 4. Anticuchos de Corazón, Beef‑heart skewers, marinated in spices and grilled 5. Ají de Gallina, Tender, shredded chicken bathed in a velvety, mildly spicy yellow‑ají sauce, served over jasmine rice. 6. Suspiro a la Limeña , Rich caramel‑style dulce de leche topped with a silky port‑infused meringue. Peru’s iconic, melt‑in‑your‑mouth dessert. What makes this activity unique? Imagine leaving Lima not just with memories, but with the secrets of Peru’s most iconic dishes in your hands. In this class, you’ll cook, taste, and toast like a local, gaining recipes and skills to recreate the magic at home long after your trip. Each step is hands-on, guided by a chef who shares family recipes and cultural stories you won’t find in cookbooks. What makes it truly special? The setting. You’re welcomed into a real Peruvian home, not a sterile studio, so you experience how locals actually cook, eat, and celebrate. With groups capped at 8, it feels more like a dinner with friends than a class. Travelers rave that this was the highlight of their Peru trip: authentic, social, and delicious. And with our 5-Star Guarantee (“love it or your money back”), booking is risk-free.
