Great culinary and cultural experience - We experienced this excellent cooking class as a family. The chef Alejandro Castillo talked about all the influences of Peruvian cuisine from the many climates of Perou to the different waves of immigration . We had a great time preparing and then eating a ceviche, a cocktail and lastly the lomo saltado. A great introduction to the rich diversity of Peru.

Dinner and a Show! - This was an amazing experience. We learnt how to cook authentic Peruvian dishes while having a good time. Jose was an amazing host with a wealth of knowledge about cooking. He was entertaining, friendly and very funny! We had three vegans and a vegetarian in our group of ten and everyone was accommodated for with ease. A great time and a fantastic activity to do with mates! We had a ball!
