Amazing experience ! - We had such amazing time with Diana et Patricio ! We started with the visit of the local market which was so interesting ! We then started the cooking class which was very instructive and fun ! The food was of course delicious !! Patricio and Diana are such nice people ! We could not have enjoyed it more !

So much fun! - This class was so much fun! Diana and Patricio were very warm and welcoming and we had many laughs together. The food we learned to make was DELICIOUS and it was an excellent way to spend an evening. I would recommend this to any foodie

Best ever! - Best cooking class we have ever had. The class of 4,5 hours starts with meeting Diana in front of their family house + where the cooking class takes place. Diana guides you to the second biggest local market of Arequipa where you can, maybe for the first time during your time in Peru, manage to get out of the tourists bubble. She is very joyful and is glad to answer to any additional questions you might have (regarding food, culture, architecture, Lima Vs Arequipa matters, etc.) in addition to her general explanations. Once back from the market, you are welcomed by Patricio who has been a chef for almost twenty years in restaurants, hotels, big corporations both for touristic cuisine as well as for locals. While Patricio guides you through the ingredients and the processes, you can not only see the fire of passion in his eyes but also be completely immersed in the joyful world of food. Diana is always at your side and takes lovely pictures while also translating the explanations of Patricio into English (in case you are not fluent in Spanish). They are very synchronized couple who teach you many basics of the art of cooking while you prepare your delicious dishes. There is no rush included. You take your time. Both Patricio and Diana take their time to help you, explain and demonstrate. Then, you get to enjoy your delicious dinner with the company of these two amazing beings. oh also, there are some suprises included! By the end of this wonderful experience, you get your diplomas (as says the couple, no class is truly completed without getting the recognition of a diploma) as well as a nice farewell gift with the Recipes ! Again, best cooking class we have ever had and definitely recommended!

Great evening experience - What a wonderful evening! Diana and Patricio are wonderful hosts and know how to get people having fun, even though I’m no great cook. Even our teenage boys had a blast cooking! Highly recommended!!

Great cooking afternoon! - Diana and Patricio are super friendly people who truly enjoy cooking and are committed to give a wonderful cooking experience. The visit to the local market with Diana was very interesting. Chef Patricio did a great job in introducing us to different type of Peruvian ingredients and instructing us on how to cook then. Great experience, very much recommended!

A cooking class with Diana & Patricio is an absolute must in Ariquipa!!! - Diana and Patricio took us through the evening in such an authentic, warm and professional way, with such good delicacies, great recipes, local insider knowledge and stories, that this cooking class will stay in our memories for a long time. We learned about "exotic" vegetables and fruits at the local market, practised flambéing and got to drink by far the best Pisco Saur. We have been to a few cooking classes in different countries but none have been comparable!!! If you want to have a great, fun and exciting cooking time with fantastic food, then you are in good hands with Diana and Patricio!

10/10 experience and 10/10 food and ambiance. - This is a must do activity for anyone who enjoys cooking or would simply just like a fun evening with friends. The market tour was very informative with lots of goodies along the way. The Chef made sure all the members were informed and took his time to demonstrate safe techniques for cutting and cooking. As far as the food is concerned it was genuinely one of the best meals I have had in Peru in terms of flavor and ambiance. I HIGHLY recommend this if you have a free evening in Arequipa.

So much fun!!! and the food was great! - We had a fantastic time Our host were kind, cordial and knowledgeable. The evening started with a tour of the market with insights into to community - great insights into the culture of Arequipa and Peru in general. Next we learned nuances about the ingredients and subtleties about things as basic as how to properly squeeze a lime (I’ve been doing it wrong for 50 years). Then we cooked … and it was a blast!! Our host focused on technique rather than recipes (we got the details as a care package when we left) - he shared everything from cutting techniques to how to really cook with fire. And then we ate … what a meal. I have enjoyed the Peruvian food for 2 weeks, but cooking it ourselves made it even better. The best part of the night was the camaraderie that our hosts created - they were fun and it made the evening a joy. A perfect blend of fun, friendship and food.

Absolutely fantastic! Great food and great fun. - Amazing experience. Such great fun and fantastic value for money. The food was the best we have had in Peru! Cannot thank Diana & Patricio enough!

Awesome cooking class from lovely and passionate people - Great day! These very lovely people told us a lot about Peruvian food and ingredients with a lot of passion. Markettour was very nice and cooking was lots of fun. As food is a big part of Peruvian culture I would definitely recommend this one!
