This cooking class was a great way to learn about local cuisine and eat delicious food! I really loved learning how to make ceviche as we learned 3 recipes. We started with a tour of the San Pedro market. My family hadn’t previously visited the market and this was a great discovery for us, that we came back to afterwards.

Best cooking class ever - Mauricio has 20 years of restaurant experience and so much attention was on ingredients and presentation

This class is perfect for anyone who loves food and wants to learn about the food that is important to Peru. Our guide and chef, Dael, taught us so much in the market and in the kitchen. The dishes we made were wonderful. I would recommend to anyone who wants a calm activity to do while acclimating in Cusco!

This was a highlight of our trip to Peru! Del was an amazing chef and guide. We visited the market and then had a fabulous several course meal. It was a group of us three and another visiting chef- more like a group of friends cooking than anything formal. Trout ceviche in many forms was a delight!

Mauricio was a great host - the tour of the market was very interesting, and the food was great, especially the ceviche. A great way to learn about Peruvian food and a low stress way to spend some time while you acclimate to the elevation in Cusco. Highly recommend.

5 stars all around. Market tour was amazing we got to try all kinds of fruits and other tasty treats. The meal we made was one of the best on our trip.

We came across "Cultural Immersion" during our research for a planned trip to Peru in July 2024. We were lucky to do so, as the office team led by Natasja was there throughout the planning process, and answered the questions we had in a timely fashion-typically within a day. We decided upon the "Incan Wonders- Best Short Peru Visit," which included visits to Umasbamba, Maras, kayaking on Waypo Lake, Ollantaytambo, Machu Picchu, Cusco & Lima. Our guide Alvaro & driver Carlos where fantastic throughout the tour. Alvaro was an encyclopedia of knowledge, and was kind, flexible & made our trip truly memorable. Carlos was timely, considerate & efficient, everything a driver should be, especially in a different country/continent. The transfers between areas were well-timed & thought through, while the restaurant selections where awesome- truly reflecting the uniqueness of Peruvian cuisine. Overall, the experience of the trip was awesome, and we would highly recommend Cultural Immersion. Thank you to the team!

Mauricio was a wonderful host! The market experience was beautifully expressed, we tried chocolate, cheese and learned about the different vendors, products, produce, and prepared meals. He was friendly a patient with my 11 year old. The cooking experience was perfect!! Clean and smoothly organized so we knew exactly what to do. It felt peaceful, engaging, and friendly the whole time. I highly recommend this for grownups or families.

The experience visiting the market was great. The menu was suitable for all (gluten and peanut free) and delicious. Chef Mauricio made it really fun, easy, and yummy. Thanks

We started by touring the market and picking up supplies for the meal we were about to cook. We taste tested bread, cheese, and chocolate. We also learned a lot about the food that is grown in Peru. Then we walked back to the studio and made a Pisco Sour, then cooked a meal with many dishes. This was a wonderful experience!

Highly recommend this class. I had a 1 on 1 experience with the chef and I learned so much. Also I highly recommend the San Pedro market too

We were looking to something fun to do on our first day in Cuzco and this cooking class was perfect! We got to do a market tour, make some cocktails and cook as a group and try many new things! Definitely a wonderful way to start our trip and so much fun!

What a fun experience! We were joined by 3 other couples and met Mauricio at the San Pedro market for a wonderful session to learn about food options. We then walked back to the adorable culinary kitchen to do our cooking. All courses (there were 5!) were delicious!

We have yet to receive the recipes promised during class - instructor said "don't take time to write down the ingredients - I will email the recipes to you all after the class." That was 2 weeks ago. We really enjoyed the class and food was great - don't tell me this is your way of keeping the ingredients/recipes a secret?? for Pisco Sour, Ceviche, and beef dish! Please forward! Diane and Jim You have our email (begins with DBrink)

We rate this cooking class five stars. It was payed back, friendly , perfect combination of hands on and relaxation. Delicious meal!
