Cusco Cooking Class by ChocoMuseo in Cusco

Posted By : Navigator47561618110
Our family of four all enjoyed this adventure with our great chef, Jil. He took us through the authentic local market (in addition to San Pedro market). What a highlight to our trip - Jil’s fun demeanor, seeing and tasting new foods, having local interaction, preparing delicious food and Pisco Sours, and finishing with chocolate covered fresh strawberries we’d purchased at the market. A must do - and ask for Jil!

Yil was an amazing instructor. I was by myself and had some unique dietary concerns. He was able to make suggestions and modify the ingredients to accommodate my needs and we prepared an awesome meal together. He not only instructed me on different cooking techniques I hadn't tried before, but also helped me learn about choosing ingredients, how to present the food and so much history and cultural knowledge about Cuzco and the people there. He also taught me about local foods and how to prepare and eat these. Not to mention, this was FUN!

The setup of the restaurant and cooking space was clean, beautiful, warm and inviting. It was like going over to a friend's house for dinner who happens to be a chef and cultural ambassador.

I highly recommend this class if you are visiting Cuzco. Whether you are looking to learn about the city, culture and food beyond the touristy stuff, or just looking for a fun way to spend an evening, this is the experience for you!

I was with a group of friends who decided to take the Bean to Bar class before we started hiking the Inca trail. This was the most fabulous class - very hands on, incredibly engaging and so much fun. Yil was our instructor. He made the learning and making chocolate just a gigantic time of fun. He's hilarious and his English is excellent! This is a MUST DO when you come to Cusco!

We really enjoyed the chocolate making experience. We had an issue with paying for the class - ended up double paying. The staff would not give us a credit but management did eventually provide it to us. Would have this issue to have been resolved sooner but appreciated the effort to get us the credit.

After doing some shopping at the local market we moved to preparing ceviche and limo saltado. We had a few drinks and a good chat along the way, highly recommend doing the class while you're in Cusco.
