Reviewed By Geordiegirl_8 - Newcastle upon Tyne, United Kingdom

Chef Alejandro is a passionate advocate for Peru - this comes through his careful explanations, thoughtful answers to questions, patience and high quality ingredients. It is a cookery class making two of the most popular dishes (ceviche and Lomo Saltado), cocktail making session (and drinking), fruit tasting, and explanations behind the ingredients. This takes place whilst being brought delicious morsels from the on-site restaurant. It isn’t the cheapest cookery workshop but we were there about three and a half hours and being guided and taught by someone who obviously cares so much about food and Peru, is well worth it. Just don’t mention Chile!

Andean Spirit Destinations

Enjoy a great indigenous lunch prepared by Jorge and his family in the intimacy of the garden of their home in Cusco, with great views over the historic center. The lunch is followed by a demonstration of Andean instruments performed by the artist himself. Jorge will play wonderful pure Quechua music, rarely heard nowadays unless you venture out to remote village festivals. A real treat!

Yilmar took us on a tour of San Pedro market, allowed us try some of the local foods, showed us the best places to pick our produce, and taught us some of the history of what we were seeing and trying. He was amazing and his recipes are fantastic! I can't wait to try everything at home. Make sure to come hungry because you will leave full!

We took part in the 'Full Classic Peruvian Cooking Class' and were lucky enough to be the only people taking part on the day that we booked, but rather than rescheduling us they went ahead and gave us a private session! We selected Menu #1: Quinoa Soup, Aji de Gallina, and Chocotejas and learned to cook a truly delicious meal that I'm going to try and reproduce at home in the UK. Mayia and Reyna were excellent teachers, taking us through each step and being patient (with me, as I'm a rubbish cook. My girlfriend got most things first time!). It also really helped that they spoke excellent English. We went out to the central market to buy fresh ingredients - a great insight into Peruvian culture, and on the way there stopped off in their sister school to try some free chocolate samples. Overall it lasted a few hours including the eating and drinking, and was an excellent way to spend the afternoon. We've done a lot of trekking and looking at historical sights, so it was a nice change of pace, and I feel like I learned something. The company sends you the recipes afterwards, and tells you to get in touch if you need any further guidance in recreating the recipes back at home.
