An excellent cooking and cultural experience - Excellent experience! To start my sister and I walked around the market where Dael taught us a lot about the different foods in the region. He was great at answering all of our questions. Then we walked back to the kitchen where we created a delicious meal of many courses! Would highly recommend!

Cultural Experience - Dael was very knowledgeable about the market and the region. We learned a lot and were able to taste the flavors of Cusco. It was a lot less intimidating going into the market with someone that could summarize it into bite sized pieces and answer questions. We made three types of ceviche, hibiscus pisco sours, stuffed peppers, potato soup, potatoes gratin, and more. Some was very unique flavored and not something I would’ve eaten at home but I’m so glad to have gotten this insight into the culture. The presentation of the food was restaurant quality too.

Phenomenal service, very organized and clean. Chef made it an amazing time. - It was amazing - our chef was so well versed in cuisine - not just Peruvian. He welcomed questions and always had answers - it is also one of the best meals I ate in Cusco - Definitely worth the money - and you learn a lot.

Nice cooking class - Fortunately I was the only student that and it became a private tour. Dael met me at the San Pedro market and showed me around to learn the queso, coffee, fruits, spice…. everything! We walked several blocks to the studio for the lesson and he taught me how to make the Pisco Sour, soup, main course, and dessert. You will do each step by yourself but if you can’t make it, don’t worry, he will help you. Dael is a professional chef from a chef family. He knows everything about food and cooking. You will get the recipe in the end. I recommend this trip to every foodie.

10/10 - Dael was an amazing guide/ chef for the afternoon - we walked through the market to learn more about the ingredients we would use, and then cooked an amazing three / four course meal with delicious Pisco sours. It was a fantastic insight into some very unique ingredients that are found in Peru. Dael was always very helpful in answering any questions we had and explaining all ingredients in full. I would recommend this experience to all.

Cooking in Cuzco - We met Dael at San Pedro Market, where he gave us an informative and colorful tour. We were fortunate to have him to ourselves, as there were no other participants that afternoon. After a thorough explanation of the ingredients being used in our culinary experience, plus a few tasty samples, we headed to the cooking school. The facilies there were organized and well equipped. We were each given our own station in order to ensure maximum participation. Everything was executed like clockwork, and we were able to make many different Peruvian dishes, including three different ceviches, a soup course, a main course of potato gratin, stuffed peppers and a salad. Dessert was comprised of delicious fresh fruit and fruit sorbet. We also made Pisco sours, shaking up our cocktails. Dael was accommodating to our needs and answered all our questions. What a delightful way to be introduced to Cuzco, Peru and its delicious cuisine.
