Unforgettable culinary experience in Cusco - Chef Jesus was extremely friendly and didactic throughout the time. You learn a lot about Peruvian cuisine and enjoy learning to cook traditional dishes with quality ingredients. It also guarantees super cool photos and videos of the experience, I was alone and the chef was very attentive and offered to position the phone and record while teaching me how to make the Lomo Jumped. Both the Pisco Sour, and the Papas à la Huancaína and the Lomo Saltado were delicious and learning about these dishes while I cooked them myself under the guidance of the chef, was very special!

Amazing experience! - I took my very first cooking class, and I’m so glad it was a Peruvian cooking class! It was such a fun and memorable family experience for our family of four. Chef Jesus was incredibly friendly, patient, and knowledgeable—he not only taught us how to prepare delicious Peruvian dishes, but also shared the history and culture behind the food. He was extremely accommodating of the gluten-free dietary needs for myself and our two kids (ages 9 and 12), while still allowing my husband to enjoy each dish in its true, traditional form. It made the experience perfect for all of us. If you’re visiting and want a hands-on, authentic experience, I highly recommend taking this cooking class. It’s perfect for families—you’ll learn a lot, eat amazing food, and have a great time together!

Great experience - This was a great cooking class where we not only learned to prepare two of our favorite Peruvian dishes, but also had a lot of fun. Jesús also answered all our questions and it all tasted very delicious. We recommend everyone to attend a course, it is worth it!

Sautéed loin - The food was more than delicious. The weather was pleasant and the Mood was clean and well kept, I liked the explanation of Chef Jesus, they give advice in the kitchen of Lomo saltado and tells the story of how the loin saltado was created in Peru

Great Peruvian cooking class, in the heart of Cusco - 10/10 recommend this experience. My group of 4 attended the 1.5 hour class with Chef Jesus. He has been a chef for 15 years and his knowledge and experience contributes directly to the quality of his class. The ingredients were fresh, the cooking process was easy, and everything was delicious! Chef Jesus and his assistants were incredibly kind, patient, and informative. We learned so much about the history of Peruvian cuisine and how to make traditional Peruvian dishes! Would absolutely recommend
