Chef Gustavo was INCREDIBLE. I highly recommend taking a class with him. He was so personable, friendly and truly made you feel like family! I learned so much about Peruvian cuisine and I’m so glad that I got a chance to take his class!

Chef Gustavo was fabulous, sharing stories and history of the food as we learned techniques and recipes to make classic and delicious dishes. A intimate setting provided for a chance to make some new friends and have a good time. Thank you!

This was the first time we attended an experience like this. It was amazing. I would recommend every person but especially couples to take this class. Such a nice person and what a chef, sharing his experience. We just loved it. Thank you Chef Gustavo. We will be back soon🙏

An amazing experience. Felt like cooking with family rather than a large class. Will definitely book again!

Chef Gustavo was great. He took time to explain the history of the dish and provided lots of tips on how to improve my cooking. Because of him, I will be looking to do more of these classes.
