Very knowledgeable and funny guide and chef, I had an amazing time preparing a four course meal (tamales, cause, ceviche, and pistarones) with local ingredients after a trip to the market. Had lots of fun making two Peruvian cocktails (pisco sour and chicha punch) as well. I loved that I was provided with a tasty local vegetarian options to replace the chicken in the causa and the fish in the ceviche. I wholeheartedly recommend!
We are so happy you had an amazing time! It was a joy teaching you how to prepare our four-course meal and those signature cocktails. Thank you for the high recommendation, and we hope to cook with you again someday!

Safe travels, and we hope to see you again for another market-to-table adventure!
I really loved how this tour began in the local market and you got to see where all your ingredients were coming from. Markets can be very intimidating as a tourist, especially when they’re heavily used by locals as it can be confusing and you feel in the way. The market tour with the guide allowed me to properly enjoy it. This was only the beginning. The food we prepared was so tasty and delicious. I find it hard to believe anyone could have it and not enjoy it. The cocktails were also so amazing. Our chef, Jesus, was so knowledgeable and friendly about Cusco, Peru and food. It was truly an all encompassing experience.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We are thrilled to hear that you enjoyed our market-to-table experience. Many travelers feel exactly like you—the local markets in Cusco can be a bit overwhelming, so we love being that bridge that helps you connect with our local culture and fresh ingredients. It is great to know that the dishes you prepared were to your liking and that the Peruvian cocktails added that extra touch to your day. We will definitely share your kind words with Jesus; he is a passionate expert on our history and gastronomy, and he will be very happy to know he made your visit special. We work hard to provide a truly all-encompassing cooking class in Peru, and knowing we succeeded is our best reward. We hope to see you again for more flavors and stories! Warm regards, The Team at Peruvian Cusco Flavors
I learnt so much about ingredients, cooking and Peruvian culture. The cooking class facility was spotless. The two cooking aids were seamless in their service. I was able to transfer what I learnt to a tasty dinner at home last night.

My husband and I had a blast in our cooking class with Chef Jorge! We enjoyed the market tour, sampling and learning about various local foods like different varieties of passion fruit and a traditional Peruvian bread. For the cooking portion of class, we really enjoyed making the drinks (pisco sour and chicha morada), as well as the three courses (ceviche, tamales, and causa). We are both vegan and appreciated that the menu could be accommodated for us. There was so much food that we unfortunately were too full to eat dessert, but we were able to take it to go and thoroughly enjoyed it later. Everything was delicious, and Jorge did a great job of explaining the instructions and introducing each course. I’d highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Cusco!
