Morning light threads down a Miraflores street as vendors arrange trays of purple corn, fresh fish and citrus that smell like the coast. In a tidy outdoor garden kitchen a former creative chef from Maido guides a small group through knife work, ceviche acid, and the smoky balance of Peruvian staples — and the market’s bustle becomes part of the recipe.

Morning light threads down a Miraflores street as vendors arrange trays of purple corn, fresh fish and citrus that smell like the coast.

Peruvian cuisine is a living ledger: Andean tubers, Spanish techniques and a strong Nikkei (Japanese–Peruvian) thread converge in Lima’s markets. The city sits on a coastal desert fed by the Humboldt Current, which keeps offshore waters rich and makes ceviche the region’s signature. Chef Héctor Aguilar draws on that history, teaching four five‑course menu options, a pisco sour masterclass and a seasonal fruit tasting that closes the meal.
Expect hands‑on prep, a focus on seafood freshness, and pacing that alternates quick-fire cooking stations with slower lessons on sauces and plating. The experience ends with a shared meal, an e‑recipe book, and short video tutorials to repeat techniques at home.
Practical guidance: arrive on time for market pickup (transport included within the pickup area), notify dietary restrictions in advance, and wear closed‑toe shoes and comfortable clothing for standing. Bring a small bag for any market purchases and a phone or camera to capture techniques. The class suits curious home cooks who want technique, context, and a grounded taste of Lima’s culinary landscape.
