Best cooking experience in Peru!!
This was the first activity we did in Peru and it was amazing! I’m going to compare every lomo saltado I have to what we made here, it was so delicious! The class is in English but since my friend and I speak Spanish we opted for taking the class in Spanish instead. We learned so much about Peruvian cuisine, politics, and slang words! Jose’s mother, Nicolete, and neighbor, Maria, were amazing additions to the class! As my friend and I are women, having them made us feel so comfortable! They all made the experience wonderful and made us feel so welcomed. 11/10 recommend!!!
Operator response
Setting the standard for every future lomo saltado you eat is the highest compliment we could ask for! We are so thrilled that Jose, Nicolete, and Maria created such a safe, welcoming, and comfortable space for you. Sharing our culture, politics, and local slang in Spanish makes the experience even more authentic, and we love that it was the very best activity of your Peru trip. Cheers! Maira from Cook in Fiesta

Best local cooking class
Very informative, instructor was very accommodating. Food was amazing. Also got to learn a lot about Peruvian cuisine. Peruvian. Politics. History.
Very homey vibes, piña colorada drink was amazing. Very welcoming. Was able to substitute dish that contains shrimp with another option.
100% would recommend if you are wanting to create a Peruvian dish. Bonus you’ll feel like you’re at your own Peruvian household.
Operator response
Making you feel right at home in a true Peruvian household is exactly what we want! We are so glad our instructor easily accommodated your dietary needs so you could fully enjoy the delicious menu, including that amazing piña colorada. Thank you for highly recommending our class for its deep dive into Peruvian history and politics! Cheers! Maira from Cook in Fiesta

Cooking with Lucy
Lucy was amazing!!!!! She's so funny and makes the class so fun. The food was absolutely delicious at the end I wish I could've finished everything but I filled myself up!! Portion is amazing, quality of the class is amazing. Lucy is incredibly knowledgeable about cooking and chef skills I learned a lot.

An amazing experience!
It was an amazing experience! Jose Miguel knew a lot about the food and made the best piña coladas. The kitchen was great; we could all stand together (7 people + Jose) in the kitchen. The food was fantastic, and we will definitely make the dishes at home. It felt like we had known José for more than 4 hours, like we were visiting a friend. At the end of the evening, he walked us to the taxi. All in all, it was a truly wonderful evening!
Operator response
Thank you for sharing such a wonderful review! We’re especially happy to hear that José Miguel’s knowledge, the food, and even his piña coladas made the evening memorable. There’s something very special about a group of guests being able to gather comfortably in a home kitchen, cook together, and leave with recipes they’re genuinely excited to recreate. And being walked to your taxi at the end is such a lovely detail, we’ll be sure José knows how much you appreciated his hospitality! Cheers! Maira from Cook in Fiesta

A wholesome cooking workshop
The experience was amazing. Jose miguel picked us up at the meeting point and walked for 2 minutes to there home. From there the eveving felt like visting friends.
We learned to make the whole meal and it was something you can make at home, not only at a fancy kitchen. And this was not a compromise to the taste, that was excellent.
I would recommend this to everyone who has a evening in Lima.
Operator response
Thank you for this beautiful review! We’re delighted that José Miguel’s welcome made the evening feel less like a scheduled activity and more like spending time with friends. We especially love hearing that you found the meal realistic to recreate at home while still being genuinely delicious—that balance is at the heart of a good home cooking experience. We hope you enjoy making those dishes again and bringing a little of Lima back into your own kitchen! Cheers! Maira from Cook in Fiesta

Top experience!
It was a top experience! José knew a lot about all the food and the way of preparation. His English was top notch too! We had a great time with his all! Recommend it to everyone.
Operator response
Hartelijk dank voor je mooie review! Wat fijn om te horen dat José zoveel indruk op jullie heeft gemaakt met zijn kennis over de gerechten en bereidingswijzen, en dat jullie je zo goed hebben vermaakt tijdens de avond. We zullen hem zeker laten weten dat jullie zijn Engels en zijn manier van uitleggen zo waardeerden. Heel erg bedankt voor de aanbeveling! Cheers! Maira from Cook in Fiesta
