The Experience

Most cooking classes teach you recipes. This one teaches you why these two dishes matter. You show up at Haku's Kitchen on the ninth floor of a building in Miraflores at 9:30 AM, 3:00 PM, or 7:00 PM—pick the slot that fits your Lima schedule—and spend the next three hours learning Lomo Saltado and Causa Rellena from a professional chef and guide who walk you through the history, the ingredients, and the technique of each one. The class starts with a quick rundown of Peruvian gastronomy, then moves into the real work: you're handling the wok, layering the potatoes, tasting as you go.

Lomo Saltado is the stir-fried beef dish that shows up on every table in Lima—onion, tomato, chili pepper, beef cooked fast and served over fries and rice. Causa Rellena is the cold potato terrine, yellow from Peruvian chili, filled with chicken or vegetables or quinoa depending on what you choose. Both sound simple until you're actually making them and realizing how much the seasoning, the timing, and the layering matter. The guide explains the story behind each one while the chef corrects your knife work and your heat control, and by the end you've tasted what you made, plus a few local refreshments they throw in.

The whole thing—the induction, the cooking, the tasting—runs about three hours. You're not standing around watching; you're the one doing the work, which is why you actually remember how to make these dishes when you get home. Everything is included: the guide, the chef, the ingredients, the snacks, all fees. You just show up at 724 Jose Larco Avenue in Miraflores and go upstairs.

What’s included

Your three hours include a professional chef and guide, a ten-minute introduction to Peruvian gastronomy, ingredient and flavor explanation, two hours of hands-on cooking instruction, a forty-minute tasting of the dishes you've made, a final briefing, and exotic Peruvian refreshments. All ingredients, snacks, and fees are covered.
