Lima

Step inside a real Limeño home and unlock the flavors that made Peru a world culinary capital. In this all-inclusive, 4-hour class, you’ll roll up your sleeves to prepare Peru’s national treasures, from zesty ceviche and layered causa limeña to sizzling anticuchos and velvety ají de gallina. Guided by a local chef, you’ll not only learn recipes but also the stories and traditions behind each bite. Feel the citrus tang of fresh-caught fish, smell the smoky skewers on the grill, and taste the sweet finale of suspiro a la limeña. No studio, no staged demo, this happens in the warmth of a Peruvian home, where cooking and eating are part of daily life. Groups are small (max 8), ensuring personal guidance, laughter, and plenty of chances to ask questions. Your finale? Shaking up a frothy Pisco Sour to toast your creations. Guests call it the highlight of their Lima trip, but spots fill quickly, so secure yours today.

The experience can be subject to change due to bad weather or unforseen circumstances. We always endeavour to give you the best possible experience.
