Description

Learn to cook traditional Peruvian dishes in Arequipa. Choose from three menus, enjoy a welcome drink, and take a short walk through the historic center.
Begin your culinary adventure with a welcome drink of Chicha Morada, a sweet, non-alcoholic beverage made from purple corn. Then, put on your apron and chef’s hat and get ready to cook.

Choose from one of three menus:

* Andean Menu: Start with a fresh salad called "Solterito," made with onion, tomato, corn, beans, cheese, and potatoes. For the main course, prepare "Rocoto Relleno," a spicy pepper stuffed with seasoned minced meat, cheese, and raisins.

* Traditional Menu: Begin by making a savory "Causa," a dish of mashed potatoes seasoned with yellow chili and lime, filled with avocado and tuna or chicken, and garnished with black olives and vegetables. The main course is "Lomo Saltado," a traditional Chinese fusion dish prepared in a wok with beef, onion, yellow pepper, tomato, and fries, served with white rice.

* Seafood Menu: Prepare "Ceviche" as the first course, fresh fish marinated in lime juice, accompanied by onion, sweet potato, and corn. The main course is "Pescado a lo Macho," a fried fish fillet topped with a delicious onion and tomato sauce, served with white rice.

Enjoy the cooking class while sharing your travel experiences with the group and the Peruvian chef. Finally, savor your own dishes and finish with a dessert.

After the class, take a short walk through the historic center of Arequipa, admiring its colonial streets and the beauty of the Plaza de Armas.
