The San Pedro Market cooking class is a hands-on culinary experience that begins with a guided tour of Cusco’s iconic San Pedro Market. Shop for fresh ingredients alongside your chef guide, then head to a cooking studio to prepare 3-4 traditional Peruvian dishes — including ceviche, lomo saltado, and a pisco sour. Sit down to feast on everything you’ve made.

Why Choose the San Pedro Market & Cooking Class?

Peruvian cuisine is world-renowned, and the best way to understand it is to cook it yourself. This experience starts where every great Peruvian meal begins — at the market. San Pedro Market is Cusco’s beating culinary heart, overflowing with native potatoes, giant corn, fresh fish, tropical fruits, and spices you won’t find anywhere else.

After shopping with your chef, you’ll prepare authentic Peruvian dishes from scratch in a professional cooking studio. The class is fully hands-on — you chop, stir, and plate alongside the chef, learning techniques and flavor profiles that define one of the world’s greatest cuisines. The experience ends with a communal feast of everything you’ve created, paired with homemade pisco sours.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need cooking experience?
No experience is needed. Our chef guides you through every step, from basic knife skills to plating. The class is designed for complete beginners and experienced home cooks alike — everyone learns something new about Peruvian flavors and techniques.
Can you accommodate dietary restrictions?
Yes. We can adapt the menu for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, or other dietary needs with advance notice. Vegetarian ceviche (using mushrooms or hearts of palm) is a popular alternative, and Peru's cuisine naturally includes many plant-based dishes.
What dishes will I learn to cook?
The menu typically includes ceviche (Peru's national dish), lomo saltado (stir-fried beef), a traditional appetizer like causa or papa a la huancaína, and a dessert such as suspiro limeño or picarones. You also learn to make a pisco sour cocktail. The exact menu may vary based on seasonal ingredients.
Is this suitable for children?
Children aged 5 and up are welcome and usually love the experience. The market visit is exciting for kids, and the cooking is hands-on and fun. Our chefs are patient and make sure everyone participates at their comfort level. Reduced pricing for children aged 5-11.
Do I get to keep the recipes?
Yes! At the end of the class, you receive printed recipe cards for every dish you prepared, so you can recreate authentic Peruvian meals at home. Our chef is also happy to share tips on finding substitute ingredients in your home country.
