Fantastic Cooking Class
We had a fantastic time during our cooking class. The chef ( sorry I can’t remember his name)) was so much fun and had an infectious personality that added to our experience. We had fruit tasting, cooked ceviche, a beef stir fry dish, got to make two cocktails and learned so much about Peruvian food. The time flew and we had lots of laughs. I thought it was the best cooking class we have ever experienced and would definitely recommend it to other travellers.
