Much like Filipino food, Peruvian cuisine is greatly defined by influences from its past colonizers and immigrants from Spain, Italy, China, Japan, and Africa. In fact, Peru has the largest population outside Japan leading to a fusion of Japanese traditions and Peruvian Ingredients – known as Nikkei cuisine, a delicious combination which has influenced chefs everywhere.

Combination of hands-on cooking and demonstration. Eat as you cook and takeaway your creations. You will leave with tips and tricks to cook more delicious dishes at home. This class is suitable for all abilities. Examples of what you might cook during the class: Don ceviche (raw sea-bass, quickly cured in lime juice, soy and sesame) Tacu-Tacu (delicious rice-based dish (which can easily be meal in itself) is often served with steak or seafood) Causa Croquetas (deep-fried Peruvian croquettes are perfect for parties) Peruvian quinoa sushi (Extraordinary fusion dish, mixing Peruvian ingredients and Japanese techniques) Lomo Saltado (Traditional steak stir-fry, served with sticky rice and fries) Aji de Gallina (Thickened with nuts and bread, this creamy chicken dish is super-tasty) All ingredients provided, you will eat as you cook and take home the additional dishes, bring containers or use our simple ones. Copies of the recipes will be emailed to you after the class. The added bonus is the washing up is all done for you! Diets & Allergens: Please provide details on any diets and allergies, in the notes field at the checkout, so we can best accommodate you.

What to bring

We're working hard to minimise waste, so please bring:

  • Bring some take away containers just in case that there are any leftovers.

Before you book

  • What time should I arrive for the class, party or event?

    We ask everyone to arrive no more than 5 minutes before the class is due to start, so 5:55pm at the earliest for a 6pm class. This gives you time to get ready.

    We start on time and finish as close to the advertised end time as possible, so we can't accommodate early or late arrivals and we can't recap what you've missed. If you do find yourself in Bishopston early, there are bars, restaurants, pubs and cafes along Gloucester Road: we'd point you at the Blue Lagoon, Palomar Bar or El Diablo.

  • What do I need to bring?

    All our courses and classes include tuition and the ingredients. We're trying to be as sustainable as possible, so please bring your own apron (ours need washing at 90° even when they're clean) and a Tupperware or sturdy container to take away any leftover food.

    Other than that, just yourself. We don't supply printed recipe cards, but we'll email them to you if you email us after the class.

  • Will there be snacks and refreshments during the class?

    We sell beer, wine, cider, soft drinks and hot drinks during class, payable by debit or credit card. On some classes you may be able to snack on what you've made before you finish cooking, but generally you'll eat around 20 to 30 minutes before the end.

    You are welcome to bring your own drinks instead, with a corkage charge of £8.50 per person.

  • I have special dietary needs. Can you adapt dishes?

    Sometimes we can adapt menus to suit certain dietary requirements. Please contact us before booking to check, and if we can, tell us in the additional comments when you book. We buy and prepare exactly what we need for each class and don't hold extra ingredients for special diets unless we're told in advance, with at least 10 days' notice. There may be a surcharge for special diet ingredients.

    Because of how we store and prepare ingredients, we can't guarantee the complete absence of any specific allergen or ingredient that may trigger a reaction. Where we do adapt a menu, complimentary snacks or sweet treats may be unsuitable and we can't always offer alternatives.

  • Can I bring my child to an adult class?

    Each class page states the minimum age. We can't accommodate children or babies in adult classes, for insurance reasons and to protect everyone's enjoyment of the session. Please check who each class is suitable for on its own page.

  • Class times include both the cooking session and the meal.
  • Menus on the site are guidance only and may change to suit dietary needs or ingredient availability.
