Super experience. Highly recommended. - My teenage sons, husband and I had a really brilliant time with Ronal and his kind team. Ronal was full of great information on the market walk, and a skilled and patient teacher.
The cooking workshop is really lovely and the whole experience was one we will all remember.
It was also a welcome down day after some big hikes.
We all felt we have learnt more about Peru, it's culture, its food and way of life. Thank you Ronal.

Wonderful experience!!!! - I did the tour with my daughter, we loved because before the cooking class we participated in a tour of the Mercado de San Pedro where Ronal showed cheeses, fruits, vegetables, breads typical of the region. We tasted the fruits and had a lesson on how to make pisco, ceviche and jumped lomo which was wonderful.

Amazing experience to expore the local market and learn about Peruvian cooking - This was a great way to explore the public market and the various exotic foods that were sold there, followed by an introduction to peruvian cooking either a lomo saltado or trout ceviche, pisco sour, and stuffed peppers. Our chef was Ronaa, our food turned out great and he did great at explaining everything. We learned a lot and definitely recommend!

Amazing cooking class! - This is the perfect activity while acclimatizing in Cusco
We started with a tour of san pedro market, where Ronal explained what is really peruvian and what is for tourists, followed by a visit to a traditional market
We then tried traditional peruvian fruits, bread and cheeses before starting to cook
We definitely learned how to prepare classical dishes and Ronal sent us a recipe book so we can try them at home
Definitely one of the best dinners we had in Perú!

Class was canceled at the last - The class was canceled at the last minute, which was annoying. The alternative time didn’t work so I didn’t go to this class so I can’t really comment on it other than don’t count on it happening as planned or when planned.
