Excellent Meal with Moises and Charlie - Moisés is an excellent instructor who not only teaches you all the prep tasks for the meal but also gives the history of the meal and how it is to be prepared. He is patient and helpful as you learn all the prep tasks. His dog, Charlie, provides moral support throughout the entire lesson. I highly recommend this class and we thoroughly enjoyed fixing and eating a delicious traditional Bolivian meal.

Delicious cooking class 100% recommend - We loved our evening cooking class with Moises. It was great to learn about traditional Peruvian dishes and ingredients - we cooked the picante de pollo for our main dish and it tasted amazing. Great value for a delicious 3 course meal and cocktail using totally fresh ingredients. Moises keeps an extremely clean and tidy kitchen too! We would definitely recommend this class when in Sucre.

Unforgettable Experience - First of all, everyone who vists Sucre must enjoy this experience. It is amazing how Moisés presents each ingrident (all regional and fresh) and teach us the recipe in details. After preparation, we had the opportunity to try the best "sopa de maní" ever.

Tastiest travel experience - One of the best travel experiences I have had in my life. I had the picante de pollo class and everything was super tasty. Besides learning how to cook some traditional Bolivian dishes, I also learned about the ingredients, the culture and the music of Bolivia. I highly recommend this experience!

Best cooking class in Sucre - Woooow what an incredible experience. Moises is an extremely intelligent chef who is clearly passionate about his culture and its cuisine. Moises was clear in his instruction, clean in the kitchen, and informative about the local ingredients and eating lifestyle. We prepared a three course meal plus a local cocktail! We started with a Bolivian style “brunch” (appetizer in America) next we had an entre, and lastly a fresh fruit parfait since there is no dessert culture in Bolivia. Everything was super fresh (I joined him at the market to purchase the ingredients that very morning! Only because I am currently living at his bed and breakfast as well) and delicious. 100% would recommend his bed and breakfast in addition to the cooking class! Support the local economy and learn while you’re at it!
