One of the best cooking classes I've ever taken - This was an incredible experience. My husband and I took this class while visiting a friend in Peru. Our friend had taken this same class recently with some other friends, and loved it so much, she booked the same class for us. We absolutely loved it. First of all, the tour of the market really made this cooking class extra special. Being able to see where locals shop, the types of unique produce they use for their cooking, and trying some street food (i'm still trying to figure out how to make my own chilcano do pescado with ingredients at home) was just a wonderful way to experience Peruvian food. Add on top of that the cooking class with the fruit tasting and you have a truly wonderful experience. In our class, a few of us made potato causas and another group made ceviche. We also made a roasted potato dish with some salsas, and lomo saltado. Our hosts were incredibly welcoming and friendly. I can't speak highly enough of their enthusiasm and kindness. My only regret is that I now know how amazing Lucuma and Cherimoya are, and I have no idea where to find them in the USA. Thank you Haku tours for such a wonderful experience!

Best Introduction to Lima - Our guide Natalie was fantastic! We learned so much from her about the local foods and customs during our market tour, and even got to taste samples from vendors. The cooking class was hands-on and loads of fun. Would highly recommend! Included easy pick up from our hotel.

A wonderful and DELICIOUS experience! - It was educational, delicious, and so much fun! I know that the tour guide and the cook had a BIG part in the experience we had, but I think we might need to make a cooking class a part of all our future travel plans.

Engaging cooking class with a deep respect for culinary history - Believe the reviews! This was a fantastic experience from start to finish. We toured the market, bought fresh foods, learned about the foods, their history and cooked amazing Peruvian meals. You can tell the class was created with care and intention with deep respect for the food, growers and sellers. We can’t wait to get the recipes from JJ to try them at home.
