Learning from the best. Master chefs teaching you to cook and appreciate the rich food and drinks of Peru. Great facility on a rooftop. Delicious food. Excellent hands-on teaching. Great private class for 4 couples.

A must do if visiting Peru! Not only will you learn to shop for the best ingredients and learn the techniques to cook amazing Peruvian food yourself, you will also learn how Peruvian cuisine came to be. The chefs’ experience, teaching ability and energy made this class one of a kind!

We did Hector’s Peruvian classics class for the second time, this time we brought two friends and they absolutely loved it! Hector picked us up himself at our hotel to start with a very informative visit to a local market, explaining all the different products Peru has to offer. Then we started out class, outdoor with a beautiful view of local ruïns, cooking ceviche and lomo saltado, topped up with a pisco sour. Hector is very passionate and knowledgable about cooking and food and his humor makes the whole class a joy! After cooking we sat down together to eat our own creations and it was delicious! When the evening came to an end Hector dropped us safely at our hotel. If you like cooking and want to learn something about Peruvian cuisine, this class is highly recommended!

Outstanding Ceviche Cooking Class with Hector We had an absolutely fantastic time at Hector’s ceviche cooking class! Hector is such a warm and kind person – once you get to know him, his friendly and fun personality really shines through. He made us feel welcome and created a relaxed, enjoyable atmosphere right from the start. The four of us booked the class together and prepared several types of ceviche. From mastering the art of making tigermilk to working with the fish and all the fresh ingredients, everything was absolutely delicious. Hector was not only a great instructor but also an inspiration – we learned so much from him! To top it all off, we ended the evening by mixing (and enjoying!) Pisco Sours together. It was the perfect way to wrap up an already fantastic experience. Thank you, Hector, for such a wonderful time. We hope to see you again someday! Cheers, Jonas, Aylin, Melek, and Clemens

Chef Hector is the real deal! My wife and I started our honeymoon in Lima, Peru before heading to the Peruvian Andes and on our second day were able to have a class with Chef Hector. What an experience! Chef Hector's experience at Michelin restaurants was evident and we both learned so much from this class. We were able to make Pisco Sours, Civeche, and more - learning throughout the time together. Chef Hector was engaged and very open to all questions from both of us. The backdrop is unparalleled as you are doing this cooking class from a rooftop while overlooking a centuries-old ruins that are being excavated currently. If you are into food / cooking classes, I would highly recommend this experience. We did a private class and truly enjoyed. Being from San Francisco, it was also great to just talk with Hector as well as he had spent a number of years in our hometown.

If you want to have fun while learning Peruvian food tips secrets and history from absolutely the best and most creative chef, then look no further… worth every sole! Finish off with an unforgettable delicious meal… I highly recommend these classes above the rest, for family friends or corporate team building…

We were beyond pleased with our private cooking class with Chef Hector Aguilar and Chef Martin! The tour to the market was informative and we really enjoyed getting to see all the wonderful fresh products. Then the time at our cooking class was so much fun and we learned a lot! We really were happy with how they took the time to not only show us how to make ceviche and Pisco sours but guided us through the process to learn the steps and try it on our own as well. The friendly nature of Chef Hector and Chef Martin made this experience extra special and we really felt by the end that we had made some new friends in Lima. We would highly recommend this experience to anyone who wants to learn how to make authentic Peruvian food with fun people passionate about their craft!

Simply Amazing. I am a chef with 25 years of experience. I was impressed with the skill and knowledge of Héctor and his team 10000% recomended.

The class was very very interesting and fun!! Everyone in the place is very cool! Totally recommended. We all had a lot of laughter

Héctor is truly gifted. This was a great class to learn about Peruvian food, drinks, culture, and recipes. We loved the hands on experience. Hector and his team were patient and kind to us novice “cooks.” We had an amazing time and would highly recommend this class to others wanting to do something different in Peru! We are grateful for the experience and would definitely go back to learn more recipes!

I love taking cooking classes on vacation to learn about the local food and culture and having had amazing food in Peru, I was looking for an experience just as stellar. When I found out chef Hector was teaching this class and was previously at Maido, one of my favorite restaurants in Lima, my friends and I signed up! It started off with a morning at the market where Chef Hector gave us some brief information on the history of Peru and how the local foods came to be out of socioeconomic times, immigration and Peruvian 'innovation'. We walked through the market and learnt about what to look out for when buying fish for ceviche, secret spots for great cheese at great prices, and lots of other tips! At the kitchen, we learnt all the items on the menu but the best parts were just learning secret tips from someone who has worked at such high caliber restaurant kitchens! The team is so down to earth and very helpful when you're doing the hands-on portions of the class and they're all fun to be with. Throw in a couple of Pisco sours in there, and a grand meal at the end of the class and you have yourself an amazing experience of a great time in Lima!

Where do I start? The actual cooking school is on a rooftop across from a 2,000 year old pre Inca megalith in the process of being uncovered. Hector was a fabulous instructor, passionate about Peruvian cooking and all things Peruvian. The class was informative and a genuine pleasure. And the food we made was fantastic - better than I’ve had in restaurants!

Chef Hector is an amazing teacher and the food he will show you is delicious. You will learn amazing techniques and you will have a lot of fun. I highly recommend this activity while you are in Lima!

Chef Hector organized an incredible day for our family to experience traditional Peruvian cuisine. We began before sunrise shopping at the fish market, where Chef Hector hand selected ingredients for our cooking class. Our class was held at his workshop, where he and his amazing team taught us how to create a delicious Peruvian meal. We had a cooking experience that we will never forget! Thank you Hector and your team!

Amazing time! Chef Hector is extremely knowledgeable, personable, and makes your experience very enjoyable! The food we prepared was delicious! We had a great time and will be contacting him again for future events!
