Very good experience - This was my first cooking class ever, and I can tell you the bar has been set very high. We met at the mercado where not only the chef bought the fresh ingredients, but also gave us a tour of the mercado. We walked back to where we were going to cook (about a 6 min walk). The place was very clean. Mauricio and his team have a great set up, and we cooked/prepared amazing food. Definitely recommend booking this class.

Authentic Peruvian Cuisine & Enjoyable Experience - We participated in this experience as a part of a package with Cultural Immersion travel agency. The process was flawless, and timing was well done. We met our chef, Mauricio at San Pedro market as a part of a very small group, and went through an informative & delicious tour of the area. We were even able to taste test some authentic Peruvian ingredients from the market. Once we got to the cooking studio, which was a short walk away from San Pedro, we were treated to an incredible meal. Each “course” was hands on, accessible & fun! Mauricio was very knowledgable, and paced the evening well. He was a gracious host, and made everyone fell welcome & capable of cooking. The food was delicious, and something we will most definitely recommend to others! Thank you for a fantastic time.

It was a great... - It was a great experience. Starting with the market where we tasted different fruits and some locally made chocolate. We continued to the studio to cook and make pisco sours. The best part was chatting about food and ingredients while preparing the food.

Wonderful experience - Highly recommend this class for anyone looking to explore vibrant Peruvian flavors and cooking techniques!. The class was hands-on and informative, with plenty of useful tips. The friendly atmosphere and perfect class size made it easy to follow along and ask questions. I left with a greater appreciation for Peruvian cuisine and the confidence to recreate the dishes at home.

Nourishing food and fun! - Absolutely loved this cooking class! Getting to explore San Pedro market to start off was so fun and dynamic, especially with Dael explaining all of the ingredients and letting us try samples with vendors along the way. Once back at the kitchen/studio, Dael led us in cooking some absolutely AMAZING stuff, including delicious ceviche, hibiscus pisco sours, and stuffed peppers! We learned so much, experienced so many great flavors, and got sent the recipes (and photos) afterwards so we can try to recreate some of the magic at home. Dael was fantastic and helped make the whole experience so fun and informative! COMPLETELY worth it, would absolutely recommend this to anyone visiting Cusco who loves food!

Amazing experience cooking with Cusco Culinary - Picking a cooking lesson was hard because there were many options that seemed similar. I am so glad we went with Cusco Culinary because the guide and chef Dael was very knowledgeable about Peruvian cuisine and cooking generally, patient with questions, and kind. Dael met us at San Pedro market and gave a very interesting tour with lots of sampling. Then we walked with him to the cooking school. He and his assistants cleverly moved us through cooking and enjoying multiple courses: a pisco sour aperitif, a ceviche as an appetizer, then a soup, a backed potato dish, a salad, stuffed peppers. The food was really delicious and authentic. It concluded with a beautiful fruit based dessert, artistically presented. We enjoyed every minute.

Excellent experience - Dael was wonderful and very informative. We learned a lot about local produce at the market. The cooking class was also excellent. My husband is a trained chef, and even he found it informative. We made so many types of delicious food using local ingredients. We would highly recommend this tour!
