If your looking for a fun cooking class in Cusco, you've come to the right place. We're a small chocolate workshop tucked away in the San Blas neighborhood — just a few steps from the main plaza. Every day, travelers and locals come thru our doors to learn how to make real chocolate from scratch using organic Peruvian cacao. Most people who walk in have never worked with chocolate before, and thats totally fine. Our beginner cooking class is built for people with zero experience — we walk you thru every step, from roasting the beans to molding your own bars.
We started this workshop because we belive everyone should know where there chocolate comes from. Peru grows some of the finest cacao in the world, and Cusco is the perfect place to experience it. If you want something more personal, our private cooking lesson gives you one-on-one time with our chef — no distractions, just you and the chocolate. Alot of honeymooners and anniversary couples book our couples cooking class too. Its become one of the most popular romantic things to do in Cusco, right up there with watching the sunset from Sacsayhuaman.
We get asked about dietary restrictions all the time, and heres the good news — chocolate is naturally plant-based. Our vegetarian cooking class covers everything on our regular menu since all our recipes are already meat-free. For guests who avoid dairy, our vegan cooking class uses coconut cream and plant-based ingredients to make truffles that taste just as rich. And if your celiac or just avoiding gluten, dont worry — our gluten-free cooking class uses no wheat or flour at all. Just pure cacao and Andean superfoods.
Families absolutly love coming here. Our kids cooking class is messy, loud, and alot of fun — children ages 4 and up get there own apron and get to eat everything they make. For bigger groups, our family cooking class is designed so grandparents, parents, and little ones can all work together. We've had three generations around the same table, laughing and covered in chocolate. Its one of those memories people talk about for years.
If your traveling with coworkers or planning a corporate outing, our team building cooking event gets everyone out of there comfort zone in the best way. Theres something about making chocolate together that breaks down barriers faster than any meeting room ever could. And for the serious food lovers out there, our gourmet cooking class goes deep into tempering techniques, flavor pairing, and advanced truffle work. Its the class people sign up for when they want to impress there friends back home.
