Peruvian Cooking Class Cocktails and Market Tour in Cusco

1.Peruvian Cooking Class Cocktails and Market Tour in Cusco

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 1,712 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $57Our pick

Explore San Pedro Market, cook three Peruvian dishes, mix two pisco cocktails, and take home recipes in this four-hour Cusco class.

“This excursion was very interesting and fun at first, with the San Pedro market tour! I definitely learned a lot. I did feel like the market tour and the cooking classes were very long altogether. I was definitely ready to go home after. It would have been nice to actually have individual burners and learn how to cook each meal. It felt very school like with us passing around bowls of ingredients and putting them in our station. Definitely hands off. Oh, and not to mention one of the European guys in our group kept sniffing the bowl of food that we used for our ingredients :/.”

Jose was very accommodating, ordering tea for her and trying to make her feel better so that we could enjoy the entire experience. Jose taught us about the history of Peruvian food and told us about the many different types of produce that grow in Peru. He sent us the recipes after the event. We went to the Marcelo Batata resturaunt a few nights later and it was amazing!”

“Yesterday we took a cooking class at the SkyKitchen in Lima. Yurac was our fabulous instructor and Maritza was our behind the scenes sous chef. What a great way to spend an early lunch/afternoon. We started with a lesson on how to make a great pisco sour. It was much better and less sweet than what you get in a restaurant. We have actually steered clear of them after trying one the first night. Yurac said the big difference is quality pisco and less simple syrup. I forgot to take pictures of this. We made Causa which is like a layered potato salad. It was made with seasoned mashed yellow…”
