Best local cooking class

Very informative, instructor was very accommodating. Food was amazing. Also got to learn a lot about Peruvian cuisine. Peruvian. Politics. History. Very homey vibes, piña colorada drink was amazing. Very welcoming. Was able to substitute dish that contains shrimp with another option. 100% would recommend if you are wanting to create a Peruvian dish. Bonus you’ll feel like you’re at your own Peruvian household.
