More than a cooking class, this is an invitation into a real Peruvian home. Unlike commercial culinary schools, you'll be welcomed into a beautifully appointed family residence in Miraflores, where every guest is treated like a friend. Your experience begins with a visit to a traditional local market alongside your chef, where you'll discover Peru's extraordinary ingredients and personally select the fresh produce used during the class. Back at the family home, you'll prepare authentic Peruvian dishes completely from scratch while learning the techniques, traditions, and stories behind each recipe. Seasonal fruit tastings, carefully selected house wines paired with your meal, and personalized guidance in a small-group setting create an intimate and immersive experience that combines culture, hospitality, and world-renowned Peruvian gastronomy in a way few visitors ever experience.
