Peruvian Cooking Class, Local Market Tour & Exotic Fruit Tasting
Description
This unique culinary experience offers three great options: beef, chicken, and fish, all carefully selected by our top chefs. The adventure begins with a visit to a local market, where you'll discover a wide variety of Peruvian products. Together, we will purchase the fresh ingredients needed to prepare the authentic Peruvian dishes of your choice. Under the guidance of our professional chefs, you will learn essential culinary techniques and the secrets of Peruvian gastronomy in our well-equipped kitchen studio. Best of all, any of the three options can be easily adapted to accommodate vegetarian or vegan diets. It's also important to note that our company is committed to supporting our nonprofit sister organization, Reciprocity NGO. The profits generated from our tours enable Reciprocity NGO to implement social projects aimed at improving the quality of life for communities living below the poverty line.

Wandering through Lima's vibrant market stalls, fresh sea bass is sliced and cured in vibrant lime juice for a bright, refreshing ceviche. In a searing hot wok, tender strips of beef flare alongside onions and tomatoes, perfecting the savory sizzle of lomo saltado. The guided tasting wraps up along the coastal cliffs of Miraflores, where every bite celebrates Peru's rich culinary traditions.
Excellent time. Great food, great guide and fun atmosphere. Our guide Cesar was amazing and Chef Ruth was an incredible teacher. We enjoyed all the different local flavors and loved getting to experience the local markets.
Put together very well. . And lots of fun!! Great hosts
Delicious exploration of Peruvian food. Lots of fruits that we had never seen or heard of before. The company was accommodating of a chaotic meetup from being late to get done with a previous tour
Cesar, Ruth, amd Matias are the best!!

It has been a highly recommended experience, the dishes come out delicious with this great team. Thanks!!!
I must say this was a fun cooking experience. Cesar, Joel, and Chef Fabricio were amazing and very engaging, providing plenty of information. We went from preparing and mixing the ingredients to sitting at the table to enjoy the meal. Made the Causa and Lomo Saltado; both were incredibly amazing. Great class if you want to learn something new or sharpen your cooking skills. If you're visiting Lima, make sure to include this experience in your itinerary.
Lovely tour! Would highly recommend! The food tasted amazing, especially with Karina and Maverick's guidance.
