  The best part of my monthly stay in Miraflores. Hector taught us special skills and tips which I can use daily with cooking. His fish dishes and open fire cooking were phenomenal! These memories will last forever! I wish I had more time to spend with Hector and Ricardo, two very special, compassionate men. I highly recommend their classes!

  We had a great experience at the Peruvian cooking class in Lima. We learned a lot and prepared several different dishes. The tiradito and ceviche were absolutely delicious — restaurant-quality, in our opinion. We're looking forward to making these dishes at home. Ricardo is a fantastic host and an excellent teacher. If you're looking for a cooking class in Lima, we highly recommend this company. You'll have a great time and learn a lot about Peruvian cuisine.

  An Unforgettable Culinary Adventure with a Local Peruvian Chef. This was by far the most extraordinary travel experience I’ve ever had. Led by Ricardo, a top local chef, this immersive culinary journey offers an authentic taste of Peru’s rich food culture. From the moment you join Ricardo’s team at the bustling local mercados where everyday Peruvians shop for fresh, traditional ingredients you’ll feel like you’re part of the community. The adventure continues at his charming cooking studio, located right across from an ancient pre-Inca temple in the heart of Miraflores. Cooking with a view of these breathtaking ruins made the entire experience feel like a perfect blend of culture, history, and gastronomy (just picture holding your freshly prepared dish with the ruins in the background it’s magic!). Ricardo’s hands-on approach ensures you’ll learn authentic Peruvian cooking techniques from scratch. You’ll chop, sauté, and season under his expert guidance, all while gaining insight into the ingredients, their origins, and the cultural significance behind each dish. Whether you’re mastering the art of ceviche, crafting the perfect pisco sour, or exploring regional specialties, every moment is filled with vibrant flavors and new skills. At the end of the class, you’ll gather around the table like family, savoring the incredible dishes you’ve created. By the time you take your last bite, you’ll feel like a true local so satisfied and enriched by the experience that you might even consider cutting your trip short because, honestly, it doesn’t get more authentic than this. This is not just a cooking class it’s a deep dive into Peru’s culinary soul and an experience you’ll carry with you long after you leave.

  Outstanding Ceviche Cooking Class with Hector We had an absolutely fantastic time at Hector’s ceviche cooking class! Hector is such a warm and kind person – once you get to know him, his friendly and fun personality really shines through. He made us feel welcome and created a relaxed, enjoyable atmosphere right from the start. The four of us booked the class together and prepared several types of ceviche. From mastering the art of making tigermilk to working with the fish and all the fresh ingredients, everything was absolutely delicious. Hector was not only a great instructor but also an inspiration – we learned so much from him! To top it all off, we ended the evening by mixing (and enjoying!) Pisco Sours together. It was the perfect way to wrap up an already fantastic experience. Thank you, Hector, for such a wonderful time. We hope to see you again someday! Cheers, Jonas, Aylin, Melek, and Clemens

  Truly a unique experience getting to learn how to make a traditional Peruvian meal and cocktail! Hector and Dino were amazing! They were very knowledgeable, welcoming, and even gave us great recommendations for how to spend our time in Miraflores afterwards. Not to mention the food we had cooked together was delicious! If you want to learn about the culture, love good food, and want to spend time with great locals- this is the tour for you!

  On our last day in Peru, we wanted to do a Ceviche and Pisco sour class and it was a success! They put us all the facilities and Hector was a wonderful teacher. Afterwards we had the opportunity to take what we had cooked, and I still don't believe we did! It was great. Highly recommended experience.

  We had an amazing experience with Hector. He picked us up from our hotel in the morning. Then we hat a nice walk through the markets of Lima to buy all the ingredients for our menu. (including fish, vegetables, meat, rare herbs, fruit, you can find anything there) Afterwards Hector brought us to his outdoor kitchen and explained all the steps for preparing traditional peruvian food. Even my clumsy uncle managed to understand hectors instructions. We prepared a 3 course menu including ceviche & scallops and mixed pisco sours. Everything was accompanied by interesting talks about peruvian culture and hector gave us a short narration of his cooking experiences in the past. All in all it was awesome and i would recommend everyone to book a course with Hector.

  Omg, where to begin. Chef Hector, Deano and team were just amazing! This experience blew our mind and exceeded all of our expectations. We coordinated this with Hector a bit last minute on our last day in Peru and he was so welcoming, despite it being a major holiday weekend. From the moment we arrived till the last pisco sip we took - The team took great care of us and went above & beyond to teach us each step of making great civeche (freshest I’ve ever had) and amazing pisco from scratch. The added bonus was Chef Hector going out of his way to teach us how to make lomo saltado after we shared that we originally were torn between a civiche class or salatdo class. The fact that he had his team go out of the way to pick up some fresh meat from the butcher down the street just to teach us every step of making lomo saltado (after our original class had ended), was just mind blowing. Don’t think twice, this is an experience you won’t forget and it was a perfect ending to our two week Peru trip - But we’ll be back! Greetings from the Bay Area, CA.
