    We had a great time, from shopping for the ingredients to making the great food. It was a lot of fun and our dinner was fantastic. We recommend for anyone!

    Great Experience!

    Our instructor was so sweet and helped strangers who had never met before connect. He was bilingual and very friendly and we really appreciated how even though the class was meant to take 3 hours, our instructor Paul never rushed us or the experience. We got to see the market, try new fruits from Latan America and make delicious dishes! It was definitely one of my favorite memories in Cusco!

    SCAM. Worst experience...

    Francisco_B, Aug 2022
    SCAM. Worst experience ever. Pete forgot almost every ítem on the list for the menu, algo the things que bought were not enough, if you drop an egg they would go again to buy it. He should buy for those cases. My friend had to cook salted beef and the only thing he did was peel a potato and cut a tomato. Its supposed to be a cooking class and he didnt teach anything, just gave instructions fairly unclear. I could write a lot, but the thing is just dont fall, this is a scam.

    Response from Host, Sept 2022

    Hi, thanks for the comment, but for us this is an exaggeration, we do not cook salted beef, the chef it is not call Pete, we don't make peel potatoes, if we need to peel potatoes we get the help of our asistent, and at the end the recipe we provide it has description you do not have to tahe notes. we are more than 7 years experiences, and day by day we are always looking for to impruve our activities.
