What guests say

★★★★★

I have done cooking classes all over the world, and I have to say this was one of the most fun. And can I just say everything that we made was easy delicious and our group had such a great time. Worth every penny and our time. It’s a must do when in Lima.

We loved the cooking class and local market tour! Dasha taught us about the local produce and traditional dishes, and bought lots of exotic fruit for us to try before the class. The class was really fun too! Would highly recommend

Our guide Dasha was amazing! She is very down-to-earth and explained so much history to us during the market tour that we booked prior to the cooking class! Would do again!

The guide Dasha was great in showing us the market, letting us taste all kinds of (for us) exotic fruits, and the cooking course was great!
