Descripción del Tour:
This extraordinary culinary journey commences at the gathering spot located in the charming Plazoleta of San Pedro, home to the Market of San Pedro.
Established in 1925, this market offers a tour where you'll encounter countless stalls featuring a diverse array of foods, including cheeses, fruits, vegetables, and handcrafted items, among other delights.
The San Pedro Market serves as the primary hub of supplies in the city, attracting both tourists and locals daily. Historically, it was part of the Inca Trail that led to the Plaza de Armas during the Inca Empire.
The culinary tour proceeds with a brief walk to the cooking studio, conveniently situated near the market in the historic heart of Cusco, where you'll begin the Peruvian cooking classes.
The class kicks off with crafting a Peruvian cocktail, the renowned Pisco Sour. This classic alcoholic beverage combines Pisco, a grape-distilled spirit, with passion fruit juice.
A professional chef will guide you through the process of preparing a 4-course menu using fundamental cooking techniques. Starting with the first course, you'll create a delectable Mashua Cream paired with purple corn chips. Mashua, a tuber from the high Andean regions of South America, is akin to potatoes and offers valuable nutritional benefits.
For the second course, you'll make three distinct types of ceviche. The first will be the classic style with red onion and coriander. The second will feature an ancestral style with tumbo juice, a fruit native to the high jungle in the Andes, similar to passion fruit and rich in vitamin C. The third ceviche will incorporate kushuro (high Andean algae), tarwi (Andean soy), and camu camu, delivering a burst of flavors.
In the third course, you'll prepare a delightful rocoto pepper filled with mushrooms and vegetables, accompanied by an organic garden salad and a creamy potato pie. Rocoto is a type of chili pepper known for its spicy kick, and for the potato pie, you'll use three different varieties of potatoes.
You'll savor each dish after completing each course, enjoying the authentic Peruvian cuisine crafted by your own hands and sharing a pleasurable experience with the group. Additionally, you'll taste non-alcoholic beverages such as Chicha Morada, a sweet drink made from purple corn.
During the fourth course, you'll indulge in desserts crafted from aromatic and fresh exotic fruits like lucuma, goldenberries, and cherimoya.
