Great local experience with Jesus leading our group. First through the market, explaining various fruits, vegetables and other Peruvian staples. Then a short walk to the workshop for cooking class where we first sampled fruits unique to.Peru, then mixed up pisco sour followed by assembly of multiple dishes, mixed up a second cocktail, more food and dessert. Food was excellent and the experience was fun.

This was a wonderful experience. Carlos was a great teacher and is so informative. The food and drink were delicious and I left knowing how to cook Peruvian dishes. Thank you so much. I thoroughly recommend this experience and had a wonderful night
Carlos is your guy! Just loved the experience. Fulfilling and rewarding. Highly recommend!
Loved the experience! Carlos explained everything really well on the market and during the cooking class. Overall, it was a fun activity to do!
Carlos and his team (Lucy and Anna - at the studio) were exceptional. Meeting at the San Pedro markets with a small group of five and then going through and having the different food explained as well as getting to sample was great fun. My partner was not feeling the best suffering the effects of the altitude. Carlos was so kind and attentive. He even ordered and paid for a taxi for us after recognising my partner was unwell so that we did not have to walk in the heat back to the studio. The cocktails and food we made were all so delicious and there was so much. This was a fabulous experience, I would do it again and recommend to anyone to do it as well. Muchas gracias
Was a great experience. Learnt lots of Peruvian history about the food. It went for 4.5 hours but got fed very well a five course meal!
Had a great time at the market and learning about new foods.
The best tour. Our guide, Carlos, was absolutely amazing. Enjoyed visiting the markets. The cocktails & cooking demonstration was excellent & there was so much food & the food was delicious. Definitely recommend.
Carlos is the best 🤩 my belly is full and my brain is happy
We had so much fun with Carlos. This is perfect for those that are just arriving in Cusco. He was showing us around the market and giving us the inside scoop of what and where the locals buy their goods. The food was excellent, the cocktails were unique and any foodie would love to experience this!
Chef Carlos was very knowledgeable and entertaining! The walk through the market was very informative and the food afterwards was very delicious. I highly recommend taking the time to do this tour if you enjoy food or cooking.
Carlos was amazing The market tour and the cooking class where so fun!
Fantastic experience, great value for money - you get a master class of 2 cocktails & 3 dishes as well as a market visit Our chef Carlos has done an amazing job explaining all the ingredients and history’s behind the dishes Highly recommend
This was a really fun experience. We met at the market, where we got to try some things we wouldn't have been brave enough to try on our own (or had the language skills to ask for!). Our guide and chef for the day, Carlos, was a total gem. We packed a lot into four hours together, making two drinks and three dishes, all of which turned out really well. Starting the class off with a pisco sour was an interesting choice. :) For those who don't drink alcohol, mocktail options were available. The recipes could also be easily adapted for vegetarians and vegans.
This was a wonderful experience! Incredible delicious food and informative guide. We really enjoyed Jorge’s wisdom and presentation of the food and cooking
amazing experience, he is an amazing guy.
I had the most wonderful time at the market tour and cooking class with Jorge! All of the dishes we made were delicious and Jorge gave great explanations of the ingredients and the history of the dishes. The whole experience was seamless from the equipment being set up when we arrived at the kitchen to the wonderful staff who handled clearing of dishes to the timing of the dishes being served. I cannot recommend enough!
Great time with Jorge! Loved learning in the market, making coctails, and delicious food. Great time with a fun group.
Fantastic experience, cookery class. Made three meals and two cocktails. Then had dessert. Our cook was friendly, explained foods in the market and then how we used later. Don't miss this tour
This was a very complete experience. Great explanations at the market, beautiful and tasty dishes, great cocktails, and all at a very relaxed pace.
Amazing! Food was yummy. The lace was clean and we ate a good amount of food
Amazing tour of market and great cooking class with laughs and good time! Highly recommend w family friends
This was amazing. Jorge did a wonderful job. I'm still trying to wrap my head around the explosion of flavours. 10/10 would definitely recommend
Excellent tour, very informative and Jorge was an amazing guide
Great experience. Jorge was really informative and really enjoyed everything we made tonight and excited to recreate Peruvian dishes when back home!
This was an exellent experince. The best chef, good food, cosy place and good company. Thanks for a nice evening☺️
I had a great experience. Our chef was Jorge, and he was very knowledgeable and gave a lot of information about the food as well as it's history and Peruvian culture
Had a fantastic time with Chef Carlos! Our group class turned into a private lesson when we found out we were the only ones who booked the morning class on a Tuesday 😂 Carlos took us around the market, taught us about local produce, gave us samples, all of which were delicious and fun without being intimidating. Spend about 45 mins at the market before heading to his studio which is a great space. Everything we made was fun, interactive, yummy, and customizable. For example, my husband and I don’t drink much and have different spice tolerances and Carlos helped us customize everything to our preferences! He was a great teacher who also helped us learn more about Peruvian cuisine. Excited to try these dishes when we get home! Thanks team!
Carlos was absolutely fantastic! Very fun experience, and you learn lots about the Peruvian cuisine and ingredients, and part of history. You get to taste 2 delicious cocktails and 3 very nice dishes :) and a dessert. Super recommended!
This was such a perfect experience for us to have in Cusco! Chef Carlos was wonderful. We got to walk around the market and snack on different things in the market. Cooking together was a great time and delicious!!
Chef Carlos was incredible, cannot recommend this experience enough if you are looking for a wholesome and entertaining way to learn more about Peruvian culture and food!
Carlos was a great host and chef. An amazing experience to taste Peruvian food and drink. 100% recommend.
What a great experience. Chef Carlos was amazing. From the tastings in the markets to the cooking in the studio, we thoroughly enjoyed our Peruvian cooking experience. We would recommend it to anyone visiting Cusco.
Excellent experience and the guide was great. Very informative and great and plentiful eating. Also enjoyed the tour of the market.
This was easily our favorite tour of the trip! Rich in culture, experimental and full of fun from beginning to end. We learned soo much, got to try exotic fruits and learn rich history about the foods in Cusco and their influence. My only regret was not doing this on the first day so I could go back and get my favorites from the market. Jorge and Carlos were also extremely accommodating to my food allergy and took it very seriously, making me feel welcomed and very well fed. They never made me feel like an inconvenience. The drinks were flowing, the food was amazing, and our group was a vibe. 10/10 no notes!!! ❤️ Book with them and you will not regret it.
Great knowledge from our host Jorge! Amazing meals and great drinks!
Unbelievable experience. Jorge from start to finish made this an unforgettable experience.
This experience was absolutely worth it. Learning the culture, the history behind ingredients. And the food and cocktails were incredible.
This experience went above and beyond what I could have imagined or asked for. From start to finish it was amazing and interactive and informative We learnt so much, had so much fun and most of all made some yummy cocktails and food! Thanks Jorge
Amazing experience with Carlos! He was very knowledgeable of all the different foods and history. Price reflected the quality of the tour. Recommend this to anyone visiting Cusco.
I had such a fantastic time. Carlos was amazing!! From the food market, to the cooking class itself, the whole experience was so educational and entertaining. I would recommend to anyone visiting Cusco, and wanting to know more about the culinary world of Cusco.
This cooking class was awesome. We have learned a lot and it was soooooo much fun! If you stay in Cusco, it‘s a must do!
I loved this experience! Carlos was such a nice guide. I thoroughly enjoyed my time, trying different foods and learning about them at the markets. For cooking the food and making the cocktails we took our time and had fun! I learned a lot and the food tasted amazing. I 100.% recommend for someone coming to Cusco who wants to immerse themselves in food and culture! Huge thank you Carlos and Anna, I loved it!
This was so amazing the market shopping the ingredients bought the food we made I loved it I highly recommend. Chef Carlos made it so easy to understand the menu explained it so clearly and gave us the historical origin of the meals . Please book this experience you won’t be disappointed. Am going to return for a different menu experience 😃
Carlos was a fantastic chef and guide. Very friendly, kept good pace and overall very enjoyable experience
An excellent cooking course - generous portions and cocktails. Great guide and cook Carlos.
Very fun, Carlos was a great host! Would definitely recommend to a friend
This was a wonderful cooking class with our chef Carlos. He explained the history and culinary backgrounds of the dishes and showed all the steps we needed to do. Then we did almost all of them ourselves and got plenty of food! The afternoon flew by and the pace of everything was good. Highly recommend this tour!
Very good teacher and food experience
Fun, great set up, brilliant food, small numbers. We have done cooking classes around the world and this has been the best 100% recommendation. Superb host!
