Description

Join Diego in his outdoor kitchen where he will show you how to make classic Peruvian dishes like ceviche (fresh fish cured in citrus juice), lomo saltado (marinated beef sirloin, sautéed with onions, peppers and fried potatoes), tacu tacu (rice and roasted beans), papa la huancaína (potatoes with a spicy, savory sauce), causa rellena (potato puree garnished with yellow aji sauces and lemon, stuffed with onion, avocado and tuna) or arroz chaufa (sautéed rice with green onions and sesame seeds, a chifa (Chinese-Peruvian) dish). You will learn how to properly cut the fish for the ceviche and how to carefully balance the flavors, and he will teach you some of his favorite cooking tricks.  Diego can demonstrate how to cook the dishes, or you can have a hands-on lesson. Just let them know your preferences! What better way to learn about a country's culture and cuisine than to cook with its locals?

Market tour and dinner

We did the market tour and dinner with anilu. She took us to her local market and explained many of their local fruits and vegetables. Then a private dinner at their restaurant was amazing. The al fresco dining was really fun and the food was sooooo good. Definitely recommend.

Fantastic Peruvian Cooking Class!

Our group of 5 had a fantastic cooking class with Diego and Anilu! We learned how to cook ceviche y lomo de saltido. The food, fresh beverages and location were all great, as was their hospitality.
