Chef Alexander and Chef Ana were amazing and knowledgeable! We learned so much about the culture and the history of lomo saltado and pisco. He made cooking so easy. To top things off, Chef Ana taught us how to make this PHENOMENAL spicy sauce. Totally worth it. 1000/10 would recommend!

This class was a great introduction to popular Peruvian dishes. We visited the market and got to try different cheese, bread, chocolate and fruit, and then we headed back to the kitchen to make a few dishes and a pisco sour. Chef jesús is very knowledgeable and nice, and for me the class was the perfecet length.
