Wonderful morning spent visiting San Pedro market and then cooking 3 course meal and preparing Pisco sour with chef Chris. He was very knowledgeable and informative. He mentioned he also owns a restaurant called Avocado Toast where we enjoyed lunch the following day.
Can't recommend this highly enough! Chris brought the market to life, weaving together food and local culture. The cooking class was excellent and gourmet, with explanations of why we were making the cocktail and three dishes in that specific way. Most of all, Chris was an engaging and entertaining teacher, a professional chef bilingual in English!
Happy We did this together. We loved the markettour, making Pisco sour and using lots of new Peruvian ingrediants. Chris was a superb guide and chef through this colourful Food experience!
Thank your wonderful review! I truly enjoy having you with us!
A fantastic gastro experience. Chris was superb, his English was faultless and he provided us with a wealth of information about Peruvian cuisine. The cooking was great fun and the dishes we put together were delicious. A thoroughly enjoyable morning and lunch.
Thank you! We love doing this! 😃
For those who understand that cooking is part of the culture of a place, this is an unforgettable experience! Getting to know the different ingredients at the Market and then having the opportunity to learn and cook Peruvian recipes with Christian was wonderful!
Fantastic experience and would highly recommend for anyone who wants to learn about authentic Peruvian flavours. Our chef Chris was knowledgeable, a great teacher and very fun! Thanks Chris and team
We had an amazing time with Chris, our guide and chef. We met in the morning and he took us around the market, explaining all the different produce and buying what we used later. We then made a passion fruit Pisco Sours, cerviche, quinotto with sous vide poached egg and finished with a fruit parfait. It was a most enjoyable experience and I would highly recommend it.
The afternoon market tour and cooking class with Christian was delightful; I really enjoyed learning about the varied produce of the region and seeing how it was all incorporated in the well-appointed kitchen. The classic menu items are something that I will try to recreate when I return home. Thank you for a great (and delicious!) class.
We had a fantastic experience. We met Chris, from TASTE at the market. He provided very timely, clear instructions for our meetup. We all enjoyed our time at the market - it was very interesting and Chris provided lots of details that were fascinating. Our cooking experience was awesome! Chris was patient and provided lots of detailed instructions - even a novice could manage this. The food was fantastic ( so were the PISCO SOURS). Chris was just delightful - we were so happy we booked this for our last experience in Cusco; it was great - you will not be disappointed! Carol Ross & friends from South Carolina
Really fun experience. Peruvian cuisine is amazing overall and it is nice to have the chance to cook with a knowledgable guide. We started with shopping at the market which was also fun.
