5.00Gracias Cesar, Gracias Chef Ruth! What an incredible experience from beginning to end. My daughter (11 years old), husband and I. loved visiting the local market for fresh fruit and veggies. We then entered into their professional kitchen and the magic really started. We sampled various native potatoes, fruits, and then made ceviche and lomo saltado from scratch. Absolutely delicious. Cesar (our guide) and Chef were so knowledgable and generous with their expertise. 10/10!!!
One of the best cooking classes I've done!

5.00A fun and informative class! From Edwin our driver to tour guide Silvana and chef Ruth, staff are professional, personable and friendly. The market tour was integral to see where the food we'd be cooking came from. I loved learning about the historical and cultural significance of different ingredients and the dishes we were preparing. The studio in Miraflores is clean and nicely decorated. We had a good deal of flexibility in choosing what dishes we wanted to prepare. You make a potato appetizer, then we chose to make Ceviche and Lomo Saltado. Before this you get to try a variety of local fruits - which was so fun. Everything turned out delicious and you get a copy of the recipes (plus some more) at the end of the tour. Completely recommend going with Haku tours!!!
Really Great!

5.00It was an amazing experience. We were able to do a market tour, look at the local vendors and see the food we were gonna make. We made the delicious ceviche and beef dish, also had a fruit tasting and a potato testing. Would highly recommend this tour and can’t wait to come back!
