From the Market to the Plate – An Unforgettable Peruvian Experience - I had an amazing experience learning how to cook some Peruvian dishes! I’m so happy I did it. Huge thanks to Chef MNM and the assistant translator Gaby—you two are amazing! You’re both so skilled, friendly, smart, and kind. Truly great at what you do. I would definitely recommend this Peruvian cooking class to anyone looking for a fun and authentic culinary experience!

Get cooking!! A real hands on experience! - This was a great experience. we first went to the market to check out the produces and learn more about local fruits and vegs (many of which we don’t have in the UK). Then we drove to the cooking class itself and this was a real treat. There were 3 others in the group, so 5 in total and it was a real hands on experience. We cooked everything from scratch and ate it all as we went along. It was so much fun! And the food was delicious! Really recommend this

Great way to end of Lima visit! - Cesar was a great guide. He picked us at our Airbnb and brought us to the market where we had this delicious fish soup! We wanted to come back the next day, but did not get a chance! Our group of 5 really enjoyed the cooking class! Cesar wasn't kidding when he said there will be lots of food and eating. I am an avid cook, but really want to understand the recipes and methods. Thankfully, we were provided recipes after the class! I would highly recommend this tour with Cesar.

Great job! I like the cooking class. - The guide arrived at our hotel on time to pick us up. Her name is Gaby. She was friendly and instructive. I learned a lot from her and the cook. This was my first time to cook for a long time. My wife does the cooking at home. So she was very happy to see me cook. In addition the facility looked very nice and we had all the tools for our cooking class. Great job, Gaby!

Incredible day of cooking and great vibes! - I highly recommend this cooking class! My husband and I love taking cooking classes when we travel, and this one quickly became a favorite—even though it wasn’t the most expensive. From the very beginning, the experience stood out. Kimberly was quick to respond to our booking request and struck that perfect balance of warmth and professionalism. Paula, our guide, picked us up with the driver and was an absolute delight— charismatic but genuine, kind, curious, and fun to be around. I’ve met "guides" in other countries who just shuttle you from point A to B without giving even the smallest commentaries that could really make you appreciate the location you’re visiting, but Paula was different. She makes me wish that I had met other guides like her. She made the whole experience feel personal and engaging, and she was a fantastic translator too. Chef Marco was just as great. From the moment we met them both, my husband and friends and I knew we were in for something special. We started with a visit to the market before heading to the kitchen, and everything from there flowed so smoothly. They created such a relaxed and fun vibe—with good reggaeton music in the background and plenty of laughs. And the food? It was amazing thanks to Chef Marco for overseeing everything and giving such clear instructions, his helpers for prepping. Food was so generous and I felt that they had better offerings to other cooking companies in Lima. I was completely stuffed by the end. Thank you for a great day!
