José was an amazing chef and instructor! A very engaging and entertaining experience!
Fernando did an amazing job. I really enjoyed my time.
Very good experience. Cher was funny, food was great, there was wegetarian option also - everything perfect!
Fernando was a great teacher! Really fun experience! Glad we did it, nice balance of fun with explanations of why we do things the way we do. Heads up that this is more like a 2 hours 10 min experience if the group is bilingual. No issues for us but just so you budget enough time.
A truly fun and educational experience! Highly recommended
Fernando was such a fun and informative instructor! The food was awesome and we loved learning how to make Peruvian dishes. Highly recommend!
We had such a great experience with this Peruvian cooking class. The instruction was clear, friendly, and hands-on, and I left feeling genuinely empowered to recreate what we learned at home. The ceviche we made was absolutely delicious, and I especially loved seeing my kids become comfortable and confident cooking lomo over an open flame. It was fun, approachable, and a wonderful way for our family to experience Peruvian food and culture together. Highly recommended!
Great cooking class. There was no one else booked on so it was just me and my friend. Really good value for money, had 2 courses and 2 cocktails. Our chef Fernando was excellent, really friendly, good fun, and the food was delicious.
Wonderful experience well worth the price! Amazing instructor who was funny and engaging. We had a great time cooking tasty food and making a nice cocktail.
Fernando Batata was a great teacher and chef with a passion for the Peruvian food. He guided us with knowledge and great touches of humor. Best class of cooking of my life.
We had a great experience. Very clean, professional, and fun. Food was wonderful!
I booked a class in English, then it was in Spanish . I burned my lomo saltado because it caught on fire and it tasted horrible . The chef tried to fix it but it was still raw inside and burned outside. They DIDN'T send me the recipe. I went there the next day to ask for it and still didn't send.
It was insane. The cook was really funny and great in English and he spoke a little bit of French also. The ceviche was really good and the best that I tasted in Peru. The cocktail was so refreshing. And the last meal was really fun to cook
Love the experience and the teaching! Fernandos is nice and super!!!!
Fernando was a great host with a good sense of humor and positive energy. His instructions were clear, and even though my friends and I are not experienced cooks, we made a very tasty dish. It was a fun experience and a great activity to do in Cusco :))
Our cooking class was one of our highlights from our trip. Fernando was a great host and teacher. He really made the class fun, and the food we made was delicious. He also was able to accommodate my pescatarian diet!
One of the best experiences I had in Cusco. We learned how to make fresh ceviche, a perfectly balanced passion fruit chilcano, and an amazing lomo saltado from scratch. The class was hands-on, fun, and super welcoming, even for beginners. The chef explained the ingredients, cooking techniques, and a bit of Peruvian food culture along the way, which made it feel much more authentic than just a tourist activity. Everything we made tasted incredible, and the portions were generous too. If you’re visiting Cusco and want something interactive (and delicious), this class is absolutely worth it.
This was an amazing experience. All chefs were interactive and fun all while teaching us how to prepare authentic Peruvian dishes and drink.
Great chefs! Very friendly and humorous. Totally enjoyed hours spent there. Highly recommended for anyone who is around the downtown Cusco area.
I had a wonderful experience. The class was very well organised, super fun, very informative and the teacher was fantastic. I would highly recommend 🤩
I came here with my tour group and folks, this was a night to remember. From the second we arrived the instructors welcomed us with excitement and enthusiasm. The experience was filled with laughter, unexpected fun surprises, and an immersive experience. The meal was delicious and as someone who never cooks they made me feel like an expert. Thank you for an experience I will never forget. GO, it’s worth every penny and you’re supporting a local business who works hard to make the world a better place. Muchas Gracias!!!
We had such an amazing time. Fernando was an amazing chef and teacher. He was so full of energy and made the whole experience so fun. The cooking was not too difficult and we were expertly guided through it by Fernando. The ceviche and Lomo saltado were delicious and very filling, and the pisco cocktail was great. Would definitely recommend!
We had a great time, Fernando was so much fun and will definitely be using the recipes at home.
