Peruvian Cooking Class in Miraflores with Pisco Tasting

This Peruvian cooking class in Miraflores takes place in the home of the hosts, Chef José Antonio and his wife María Alejandra, who look after the group themselves from start to finish. The class lasts about two and a half hours and every guest prepares their own dishes.

It opens with a tasting of exotic Peruvian fruits, while the talk turns to the country's geography, its culture and the history of pisco. The hosts produce pisco themselves, and every flavour on the table is made in their own boutique distillery. Then you get to work: a tuna tartare dressed with soy, sesame, avocado and lemon, followed by a pisco sour or chilcano made to the official recipe, and finally a fish ceviche. Fish is bought the same day from artisanal fishermen.

• Fruit tasting and a pisco flavour tasting
• A ceviche, a tartare and a pisco sour or chilcano for every guest
• A dessert, unlimited water and a small gift
• Photos, a video and a playlist sent afterwards

At the end, if you wish, you can be taken without charge to the ruins of Huaca Pucllana or at the El Olivar woods. Vegetarian and gluten-free versions exist, and the menu can be adapted to allergies if you tell the hosts beforehand. Tips are not included.
