We had a fantastic time during our cooking class. The chef ( sorry I can’t remember his name)) was so much fun and had an infectious personality that added to our experience. We had fruit tasting, cooked ceviche, a beef stir fry dish, got to make two cocktails and learned so much about Peruvian food. The time flew and we had lots of laughs. I thought it was the best cooking class we have ever experienced and would definitely recommend it to other travellers.
Such an incredible cooking experience at Marcelo Batata! From start to finish, the energy was amazing. We had a blast learning the secrets to a perfect Ceviche and shaking up our own Pisco Sours—they were easily the best we had during our entire trip. The chef kept us laughing while being incredibly informative about the local ingredients. It was also wonderful to share the kitchen with a mix of all ages; it made the whole afternoon feel like a big, fun family dinner. If you’re in Cusco and want a hands-on, delicious, and social experience, this is it!"
Thank you for sharing your experience. We’re glad you enjoyed the class so much and that the atmosphere felt like a big, fun family gathering. It’s wonderful to hear that the mix of learning, flavors, and fun made the afternoon a special memory.
