Niamh C2024-05-04It is definitely worth it! This cooking class was great. Went with two other friends, it was well organised, the dinner set up was lovely. The ceviche and pisco sour was delicious! Would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to do a cooking class in Lima. You could also buy wine from them so you could have a nice glass (or two) with your cevicheVerified

Kerri D2024-05-02A taste of Lima! I arrived a day earlier than my family and booked this last minute, I’m so grateful that I did!! This cooking class was my favorite part of Lima, they brought me to the market to pick out the fresh food and then back to the spot to cook. We made Causa and Lomo Saltado, and had a bunch of potatoes and fruits along the way. It was a great way to try a taste of Peru and the chef and guides were so so kind. 10/10 would recommend!Verified
