PERUVIAN COOKING CLASS on Lake Maggiore

Peruvian cooking-class near Lake Maggiore: a private culinary journey

Welcome to an exclusive private cooking experience set in the breathtaking scenery of a villa near Lake Maggiore. Get ready for an unforgettable gastronomic journey through the bold and sophisticated flavors of Peru, one of the world’s most celebrated culinary traditions.

Join our private Cooking Class to master iconic dishes known for their aromatic complexity and elegant presentation. After the hands-on session, you will enjoy your delicious creations in a beautiful garden, paired with an authentic Pisco Sour and a chilled glass of white wine.

The Experience Menu

During this class, you will discover the pillars of Andean gastronomy:

  • Ceviche: The crown jewel of Peruvian cuisine. A fresh dish featuring raw fish marinated in leche de tigre (a vibrant sauce made from lime juice, cilantro, celery, and chili).
  • Causa Limeña: A refined dish made of layered yellow and red mashed potatoes seasoned with lime and chili, filled with fish and creamy avocado.
  • Pisco Sour: The traditional cocktail of Peru and Chile, crafted with Pisco (a grape-distilled brandy), lime or lemon juice, sugar, and egg whites for a silky finish.

Looking for a non-fish alternative? If you prefer an alternative to seafood, we can prepare Ají de Gallina: a beloved Peruvian comfort food consisting of shredded chicken in a creamy, velvety sauce made from yellow chili (ají amarillo), bread, and walnuts.
