Description
Get a taste for local life and cuisine at the home of a Lima family. Learn to make ceviche and the perfect Pisco Sour and shop at a local market.
Learn how to prepare traditional Peruvian recipes handed down over generations. This 4-hour Lima food tour takes you to a local family home for a cooking class.
Before you visit the family you’ll stop at a local market to see the array of fruits, vegetables and fiery spices on offer – and maybe make some purchases as well.
Travel like a local on a city bus to Chorrillos, a residential neighborhood away from the tourist areas. Meet Doña Mechita, a caring Peruvian mother and the best cook in her family. She’ll share her family’s recipes and traditions with you in her home, and you’ll learn about culinary practices from generations of local women.
You’ll learn to prepare a classic ceviche, Peru’s national dish, made with fresh fish caught that day and a yummy mix of limes, onions, coriander, and a few other secret ingredients. You’ll also try a surprisingly good Maracuya drink. Never heard of it? This passion fruit drink is typical of Lima and is one of the most consumed beverages by limeños.
Doña Mechita will also teach you to prepare a delicious causa limeña made with potatoes, chilies and lime to accompany your ceviche. In addition, you’ll enjoy a Pisco Sour, with a demonstration on how to make the drink using an original recipe.
