Cooking Class

Description

Uchu Cooking class is located just six blocks from Main Square and close to most touristic hotels in town. You should get there fifteen minutes before the time. After the group is completed, you are invited to pass to the Central Garden.

The instructor will introduce himself and give general directions on how the activity will be done. Leave your belongings, take your camera and find your space in the kitchen. Cooking in an open kitchen, with a view to the garden, listening to birds and watching nature is so different than being locked in a restaurant or house kitchen. A plus in our Cooking Activity, Instructor will give a small background of the menu. No need to take notes. You will receive recipes to your mail. Pictures and videos are welcome. Free wifi available!.

Peeling, cutting, slicing and organizing is the first step. Both, English and Spanish groups are available. As this is a “do-it-yourself” activity” you have to do your best if you want to eat.

You register for one of three Menus offered. One each time.  First to register selects the menu.
• The Traditional Menu is a fun and safe one. You prepare a mashed potato pie with tuna or chicken filling. And as a second dish, you play flaming a tenderloin and veggies meal called Lomo Saltado. Fries and rice are used as company. Excellent for pictures! And delicious.
• Andean Menu includes two recipes original from Arequipa. A lima bean with cheese and veggies flavored with lemon and vinegar called Soltero de Queso. And as a main dish a beautiful hot bell pepper filled with meat preparation. The famous Rocoto Relleno.  Be aware, it contains peanuts and raisins. A potato pie is also prepared as a side of the dish. If you don’t like hot, the bell can be replaced by pie. This is an oven preparation.
• Sea Menu starts preparing the unique Peruvian Ceviche, local style (different all over the country). Lime marinated fish with a twisted flavor produced by chili and species. Patient and careful process. The main dish is a fried fish fillet topped with a delicious onion and tomato sauce prepared by participants.
