Summary:
We signed up for the cooking class at Taberano. It started at 2PM. We were fortunate enough to have Jorge as the instructor. There were 14 of us from several countries in the class. It started with preparation of a typical Peruvian dish with potatoes and chicken. That was fun to make and very tasty. Jorge was very informative in his instruction method but he was also very funny and easy to relate to. We prepared the dish and ultimately ate it. After that we did a very tasty drink, Piscu sour, WOW. When we finished that we went back to prepare ceviche. Although the first dish was way enough food we were back at it. Jorge walked us through preparing the ceviche and why we did each step. Most “cooking classes” teach you to prepare a recipe but Jorge taught us techniques
and why you take such a step. So much better and informative. After we prepared the dish, we ate at least some of it, we were getting full.
This is a very well organized and prepared event that is so much fun and so much food and drink. You need to come to this for great food, fun and interaction. However, there were 3 groups that started at the same time, but the other two groups were long gone when our group was still going strong. Why you ask, because Jorge was so incredible with his style, information and interaction with the group. If you book this, insist that you get Jorge - you will be really glad you did the class and that you had Jorge. BTW, we left at 5:30 and the group was still going.
