Cusco Culinary

I really enjoyed this cooking experience, helping the chef prepare a delicious gourmet meal. Though I have to admit my participation was minimal, I am grateful that I got the very detailed recipes and look forward to cooking ceviches and rocoto relleno back home.

Wow, just wow. Ernesto was the man. We got to tour the market and get an in-depth view of what unique Peruvian foods there are and what goes into what dishes. Then we went to the kitchen and we put it all together. The tastes were amazing. Like hands down some of the best food and experience we had in Cusco. Ernesto’s restaurant resume is top notch, world class and worth it. Highly suggested to attend if you like eating.

We had a great time touring the market and then cooking in a well appointed space. Jesus was very informative during the market tour and even though I had already been to the market I learned about the different products and what they are used for. The food we cooked under Jesus’ instructions was amazing and we all loved the passion fruit pisco sour to start with. The group we took the class with was a lot of fun too!

Fun class from start to finish! We started at the San Pedro Market where we walked around and explored the various stands while learning about the ingredients we would be using and taste testing cheese, bread, and chocolate. We then headed back to the kitchen where we started by making a pisco sour and moved on to make a multiple course meal. Everything was relatively simple to make so I will hopefully be attempting the same recipes at home!

Jesus is an experienced cook. He gives a lot of information about the ingredients and cooking proces. Moreover he is fun company! We enjoyed the cooking class and food a lot. Highly recommended!

My girlfriend and I had such an amazing time with chef Jesus at this cooking class. He was a great tour guide and teacher and made the whole experience incredible. We did it on our second day in Cusco and the class gave us a new perspective on the food and culture of Peru. We wouldn’t have changed anything about the tour and would recommend it to anyone who wants to have a good time and eat good food.

Wow! I had a wonderful time with Chef Jesus during this cooking class and San Pedro market tour. I was looking for a fun activity and this was great . To start , we met at San Pedro Market and had a tour in which Jesus taught me about various foods that are central to the Peruvian cuisine, and he even bought me chocolate! Haha. We picked out various items to use during the cooking class such as passion fruit, potatoes, various other fruits, etc.

The cooking class was awesome. We started by Jesus teaching me how to make Pisco Sour. We cooked three different dishes and a finally a dessert. I loved the ceviche!! Everything tasted incredible. I am a beginner when it comes to cooking and Jesus was a wonderful teacher. Highly recommend this experience!
