Chef Jesús did an Excellent job!

Krystal_M, Feb 2025
Chef Jesús did an amazing job! It was one of the best experiences in Peru we’ve had. He was very knowledgeable and his understanding of the cuisine was impeccable. Can’t wait for our next trip so we can come take this class again.

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Hartelijk dank voor je fantastische review! We zijn ontzettend blij om te horen dat je zo hebt genoten van de ervaring met Jesus. Hij brengt inderdaad veel passie over voor onze Peruaanse cultuur en tradities. Het is geweldig dat de verhalen achter onze gerechten en de workshop voor de Pisco Sour een blijvende indruk hebben achtergelaten. Voor ons is de gastronomie de beste manier om het hart van Cusco te delen. Hopelijk mogen we je in de toekomst nogmaals verwelkomen bij Peruvian Cusco Flavors. Het was ons een groot genoegen! Met hartelijke groet,
