Exploring Flavors: From Market to Masterpiece
Your culinary adventure begins at the iconic San Pedro Market, the beating heart of Cusco. Guided by our expert chef, you will navigate through bustling aisles filled with exotic aromas and colors, learning to identify and select the freshest Andean ingredients. You will taste local fruits, discover distinct potato varieties, and purchase the essential components for your class, immersing yourself in the daily life of the locals.
After a short walk through the historic center, we arrive at our professional cooking studio. The experience kicks off with a toast as you learn to shake your own authentic Pisco Sour or prepare a refreshing Chicha Morada. Then, the real magic begins: you will put on your apron to prepare a sophisticated tasting menu. You will craft a velvety Mashwa Cream, master the art of the perfect Ceviche Trio, and assemble a traditional Rocoto Relleno accompanied by a native potato cake.

To finish, you will sit down in our dining room to enjoy the feast you have created. The experience concludes with a delicate exotic fruit dessert, sharing stories and laughter with new friends. It is not just lunch or dinner; it is a celebration of Peruvian culture plated by your own hands.
