What to expect

Begin your experience inside a true Peruvian home kitchen, where authentic flavors and hands-on cooking come together.

Meet your instructor and a small group to begin your culinary adventure. No experience is necessary, and you're bound to learn something new about Peruvian cooking and culture, whether you're a novice or an expert chef.

Your group will create several traditional Peruvian dishes such as ceviche and ají de gallina, plus appetizers and the classic Pisco Sour. As you cook, you’ll pick up techniques you can easily repeat at home, and your host will capture a few candid photos so you can remember the experience long after it ends.

Follow the step-by-step guidance, taking notes if you like. Most ingredients are easy to find worldwide, making it simple to recreate everything later. You’ll also receive our digital recipe book and a curated Lima Food Guide to keep exploring local flavors.

When the meal is ready, sit together to enjoy the dishes you created and toast with a homemade Pisco Sour served in your complimentary wine glass.

You leave with recipes, practical skills, meaningful moments, keepsakes — and the peace of mind of our 5-star money-back guarantee.
