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.
