Private Peruvian Market Tour and Cooking Lesson with a Local Family in Lima

The cooking portion of the experience will last for about 1-2 hours and is a wonderful opportunity to experience Peru from a local's point of view. Cinthia is very eager to share her Peruvian culture through its food history and this private Peruvian culinary adventure will be an experience you'll cherish long after you've left this wonderful country!

Cinthia is an English translator by profession and the one thing she enjoys most about her job is getting to know people from different cultures. She learned to cook at home from her family, who will also join you during your experience. Cinthia’s cousin is actually a professional chef and will join her whenever she is available - it is a delight to watch her in the kitchen, demonstrating her cooking skills! One of the best things about the experience with Cinthia is that it is a family affair and her extended family joins in the merriment! 

Cinthia lives in a beautiful, luxurious house in a gated community, not too far away from the main tourist area that is easily accessible by taxi or Uber. After you enjoy a welcome drink and chat with the family you will begin your cooking adventure. You'll have the opportunity to try authentic dishes that locals eat on a daily basis. A few dishes that you might try are lomo saltado (a popular, traditional Peruvian dish of stir-fried marinated strips of sirloin with onions, tomatoes, french fries, typically served with rice), causa rellena (a layered potato and chicken dish) and lucuma caramel (caramel pudding).
