We felt like something other than culture and to combine the useful with the pleasant (you have to eat anyway) we did this cooking workshop including a visit to the market. Nice to do, top visit to market with info and tasting. Nice food and learned something again. Recommended 👍
We loved it! The service was great, the food was delicious, and everything was very well explained. We would go back a thousand times! 🙏

We took a cooking class from Peruvian Cusco Flavors with Chef Jesus. Start to finish it was a 5/5 star rating. Communication was clear. They sent me a message the day before-clarifying the meeting point and time. In addition, Chef Jesus sent a message via WhatsApp as well to f/u an hour prior to the scheduled meet up. Highly appreciated and considerate. Very responsive when I messaged him back. He took us around the San Pedro Market, explained everything and had some fruit/cheese/chocolate tasting. Walked to the cooking class studio right after. The studio was very clean and organized. He showed us how to make a pisco sour using passion fruit (so tasty!), papa ala huancayna and lomo saltado (both very flavorful). Chef Jesus made it such a chill vibe-it was like hanging/cooking with your brother but more patient lol! He showed us how to cut the proper way to cut the fruit and veggies, plate the food, and decorate the pisco sour too! We lucked out as we happened to be the only ones at that time. We had a super fun experience learning with Chef Jesus at Peruvian Cusco Flavors! Don’t miss this one when you’re in Cusco🫶

Exploring the colorful San Pedro Market for local fruit, cheese, and chocolate tastings is one of our favorite parts of the experience, as it brings you closer to authentic Peruvian flavors before we head to our clean and cozy studio. I’m so happy you enjoyed crafting the maracuyá (passion fruit) pisco sour and learning step-by-step how to prepare papa a la huancaína and lomo saltado. Teaching kitchen skills, knife techniques, and plating in a relaxed, friendly atmosphere is what it’s all about—I’m truly honored by the 'cooking with your brother' compliment! Having you in the studio was an absolute pleasure. Thank you for choosing Peruvian Cusco Flavors for your culinary adventure in Peru, and we wish you all the best on your future travels! Warmly, The Peruvian Cusco Flavors Team
I would really recommend this cooking class if you have some time when in Cuzco. Jesus was great fun, and taught us a lot about Peruvian culture and cuisine. Firstly we went for a walk through the market and he gave us an insight into the local foods and customs. We also got to try samples. The food we made was delicious. I would recommend to go a little hungry as the portions are big.
