“Chef Eric was AMAZING!! He was such a fun guide and took such good care of our group. Very knowledgeable in Peruvian history and took us through a very vast market to get supplies needed for our class. I loved learning that there are 3,000+ potatoes in Peru. Once we got to the studio to cook, Chef Eric and his assistants took good care of us and timed each dish perfectly. I would definitely recommend this tour! 5 stars all around.”

Cusco market tour and Peruvian cooking class with Chef Ronald. Taste breads, cheeses, fruits, then cook dishes and Pisco Sours.

“What an amazing experience that was both fun and educational! I really felt by the end of the class I knew more about Peru, its people, and how they eat on a regular basis. Ronal is an exceptional chef and crafted great recipes for us to try, either ceviche or lomo saltado. The bonus dish was stuffed Peruvian peppers and of course the pisco sour. Ronal took care for each step, chopping properly, tasting, and giving an honest opinion about alpaca and guinea pig. I felt he was authentic, never catering to touristy ideas in an informative way. The market was also amazing! I’m not sure our group would have…”
