Peruvian Cooking Class in Cusco: Market and Pisco Cocktails
From €58 per person
See availability →A Peruvian cooking class in Cusco that starts among the stalls of San Pedro Market and ends around the table with three dishes you cooked, two pisco cocktails and picarones.
This Peruvian cooking class in Cusco begins before you touch a pan, with a walk through San Pedro Market, one of the oldest in the city. Among the stalls are unusual fruits, regional cheeses, loaves, cacao and chocolate, quinoa and potatoes, so you know what goes into the dishes before you cook them.
A short walk then leads to the cooking studio in the historic center. You tie on an apron and start with a Peruvian cocktail. The chef then walks you through three dishes Peruvians love, one stage at a time, and you cook them alongside the group.
- Cebiche
- Causa limeña
- Quinoa tamal
In all you make two pisco cocktails, and non-alcoholic versions of the recipes are available. Then everyone sits down to eat what they cooked and swap stories with the other cooks. Dessert is picarones with honey, with sugar-free and gluten-free options on request.
The experience lasts about four hours and includes the market visit, the ingredients, the chef, the dishes, the cocktails and water. It is not suitable for children under 8. Tips are not included.
