Latin America / Peru

Buen Apetito: a delicious cooking class with SkyKitchen Peru in Lima

30 September 2019

Last Updated on 18 May 2022

Sampling national dishes and local delicacies is one of my absolute favourite ways to experience a new destinationβ€” the smells and tastes of Peru, the customs surrounding food preparation, and various mealtime traditions will tell you more about this country than any city tour every could. It may not have the international renown of Italian or French food, but Peruvian cuisine also features some of the best and most inventive flavour combinations I’ve ever tasted.

On my third trip to Lima, I wanted to go beyond just shovelling Peruvian food into my mouth (my preferred method of food delivery), so I joined an excellent cooking class with SkyKitchen Peru and learned how to prepare several incredible dishes that I’ll now hopefully be able to take back to Australia with me!

All the details: Lima cooking class

Cost: The Peruvian Standard class with traveller-favourite SkyKitchen is $70USD, payable at the end of the class (11am-2.15pm). 

Getting there: SkyKitchen is located at 470 Calle Enrique Palacios in Miraflores, a short walk from most hostel/hotels in this part of Lima. It’s actually on the top floor of an apartment building, so the doorman will buzz you up and help you find the correct door.

Where to stay: Hostel Kokopelli Miraflores is one of the absolute best hostels in Peru! I love their pod-style dorm beds that make it feel like you’re in a private room, the awesome on-site bar and restaurant, the excellent free breakfast, and all the planned activities to join in on. Dorm beds start at S/30.

Top tips: Come hungry to the classβ€” you’ll prepare a selection of dishes and there are often seconds to be had, so don’t miss out because you ate a large breakfast!

Preparing the garlic rice
There are more than 4,000 varieties of potato in Peru!

Arriving at what appears to be a family apartment on the top level of a unit block in downtown Miraflores, I am led up the stairs by apron-clad Pepe and introduced to the Californian family I’ll be cooking with. The upper level of the apartment has been fully converted into a cooking studio, complete with an induction-stove island and large preparation spaces on the decking. Although it may not have looked like much from the outside, the kitchen is undeniably well-appointed and very professional from my seat around the table.

I’ve joined a Peruvian Standard class today, which means I’ll be preparing 4 classic Peruvian dishes: Papa a la HuancaΓ­na, AjΓ­ de Gallina, Ceviche, and Pastel de Choclo, plus a Pisco Sour, the national cocktail of Peru. Aside from ceviche, it will be my first time trying all of these dishes as well as cooking them, so I truly can’t wait to discover some new flavours and test out my (somewhat questionable) skills in the kitchen.

Over the next several hours, Pepe expertly instructs me and the Californians on the preparation of these incredible Peruvian meals, which all turn out surprisingly well even at my untrained hands. Our first dish is Papa a la HuancaΓ­na, amazing silky-smooth potatoes drizzled in a yellow chilli pepper and garlic sauce that is good enough to lick off the plate, all topped with a salty Andean cheese reminiscent of haloumi. It’s alarmingly easy to make and becomes something I order off inexpensive menus all around the country over the next month, comforted by its simplicity even when my stomach is in knots during my first days at altitude.

Peru also grows 55 different types of corn!

Chopping up the ajΓ­ for our next 2 dishes

Using a similar chili-based sauce, next we prepare AjΓ­ de Gallina. If I thought our Papa a la HuancaΓ­na was amazing, I am positively doubled over by the flavours in this saucy pulled-chicken stew laid over a bed of garlic rice.

My major contribution to the dish is actually just cooking the arroz, but it’s still a proud accomplishment for someone who has never successfully boiled rice without burning half the pot and who now exclusively buys microwave rice pouches. My Asian classmates are unimpressed by this admission and visibly relieved when the rice emerges unburnt from the potβ€” if nothing else, I’ve learned to cook rice today.

Pisco Sour

Over a delicious glass of Pisco Sour, a citrusy cocktail made from fermented and distilled grape juice, we begin preparing our final main dish, ceviche. Although also typical in Mexico and Chile, ceviche originated in Peru and is one of the most popular dishes along the Pacific Coast. I actually had ceviche at a Mexican restaurant on my last night in Melbourne, so I’m very keen to see how the flavours compare (if not in a side-by-side taste test, in sort of a day-to-day taste test). 

In anticipation of today’s class, Pepe froze a large hunk of white fish and then pulled it out to partially defrost while we were making our Papa a la HuancaΓ­naβ€” the result is a firm, slightly chilled strip of fish that is delightfully easy to chop into cubes for our ceviche. 

It may not look like much, but this is about to be delicious ceviche!

The essential ingredient is lime!

Learning to make ceviche in Lima

Even though sushi doesn’t seem to arouse much concern amongst diners, heaps of people are put off by the idea of eating large bites of raw fish or mixed seafood in ceviche.

To those people I would say: don’t knock it until you’ve tried it. The acidity of the lime juice sort of cures the fish and the addition of chillies, garlic, cilantro, and red onion creates an incredible flavour that is 1000x better than anything you’d ever find in a seaweed wrap. Finally, fish stock and evaporated milk balance out the intensity of the citrus and cancha (corn nuts) and choclo (boiled white corn) offer some texture. Even my clumsy preparation returns an insanely tasty ceviche that I all but inhale off the plate.

Peruvian ceviche

We wrap up the class with Pastel de Choclo, a sweet corn cake not dissimilar to southern-style corn bread. I enjoy the cake, but the highlight of desert for me is the adorable little aguaymanto we use as a garnishβ€” I am totally fascinated by its delicate moth-wing leaves and even more so by its sweet cherry-like taste. In addition to great cuisine, it appears that Peru is home to some fascinating and delightful fruits that I’ve never even heard of.                                                                                                                                      

After polishing off every bit of food on my plate (and even returning for seconds of the group’s AjΓ­ de Gallina), I am positively bursting at the seams with some of the best food I’ve eaten in a long time. As the class concludes and my classmates shuffle off to catch their flight to Cusco, I profusely thank our wonderful teacher, Pepe, for what has been an incredibly fun and delicious afternoon.

This adorable little aguaymanto tastes kind of like a cherry, but is most closely related to a tomato

Amazing cooking class with SkyKitchen Peru in Lima

I typically prepare the same half-dozen dishes on rotation at home (basically just Indian curries, nachos, and pasta), so I really hope I can incorporate some of these simple but delicious meals into my repertoire. And I definitely know I’ll be looking out for some of these dishes as I continue my travels around Peru!

Thank you to SkyKitchen Peru, who sponsored my participation in this classβ€”still, all opinions and experiences within this post are entirely my own. If you are interested in joining a cooking class in Lima, definitely check out their website, or if you just want to try some of these dishes at home, links to the SkyKitchen recipes have been provided throughout. Buen Apetito!

  • DOHA, QATAR πŸ‡ΆπŸ‡¦βœ¨

Without the flashy excess of the UAE & Saudi, Doha offers a more authentic slice of the Arabian Gulf, where culture & tradition meet striking modern architecture, world-class art, and a glittering skyline. 

We loved our time in Doha and would highly recommend as a quick stopover next time you’re flying through the Middle East!

WHAT TO SEE
⭐️ Souq Waqif: a buzzing market with spices, textiles & gold, perfect for getting lost + taking photos
⭐️ Museum of Islamic Art: one of the world’s most stunning Islamic art collections
⭐️ Dhow Harbour: traditional wooden boats bobbing in the water with Doha’s skyline behind (great for photography!)
⭐️ Mina District: neighbourhood with colourful pastel buildings & street art, best explored in golden light of late afternoon
⭐️ Fish Market: the most beautiful stained-glass ceiling I’ve ever seen, worth a quick walk through while exploring Mina!
⭐️ Qanat Quartier: a rainbow-hued β€œLittle Venice” with canals, bridges & plenty of great restaurants 
⭐️ Katara Cultural Village: a great place to discover local culture 

HOW MANY DAYS?
we spent 4 days in Doha, but you can see most of the city’s highlights in 2-3 days 

GETTING AROUND
Uber is the best way to get across the city to visit some of the farther places of interest

  • Pivoting away from all the Japan photos for a moment to share a sleeper hit from last year’s travels that didn’t make it onto the feed (because I’m perpetually behind on posting…) β†’ Qatar!!

This small Middle Eastern country was never on my list, but while we were in the region for the 2nd half of last year, we decided to take advantage of the Qatar Airways stopover program (this isn’t sponsored, it’s just a really cool program πŸ˜…)

For no extra cost, we were able to build a 4-day stopover into our flights from Oman to Egypt, and we ended up having WAY more fun in Qatar than expected. You don’t need long to explore (you could cram most of the highlights into 2-3 days), but it’s guaranteed to impress!

I’ll share some of our favourite experiences from Doha tomorrow, but WOW, who knew!?

  • Cut by the bright turquoise Gokase River, this magical little gorge in central Kyushu is often called the most beautiful place in Japanβ€” and we might just agree!! πŸ‡―πŸ‡΅πŸŒΈβœ¨

πŸ“ Takachiho Gorge, Miyazaki Prefecture

TIPS FOR VISITING:
- the site is open 8am-5pm
- entry is Β₯1,000 per person + parking is available nearby
- reserve a row boat (30min) for Β₯4,000 on weekdays or Β₯5,000 on weeekends (boats do sell out!)
- the best light is after 10.30am, when sun hits the waterfall
- free paths run along both sides of the gorge, so you can enjoy great views even if you don’t hire a boat

πŸ‘‡πŸ» If you’ve been to Japan, what’s the most beautiful place in your opinion? (tell me in the comments so I can save for our next Japan trip πŸ˜…)
  • things in Japan that just make sense: it’s gotta be the free footbaths, for me!! 

πŸ“ Sakurajima Nagisa Foot Bath Park in Kagoshima, Japan

road-tripping through Kyushu on a rainy day in May, we pulled over at these baths near the active Sakurajima volcano and couldn’t believe the view. these are one of the longest footbaths in Japan, with more than 100m of naturally-heated water from deep underground, and amazingly it’s completely FREE to visit!

  • Welcome to the Beppu Hells πŸ”₯

Beppu is one of Japan’s most famous onsen towns, known for its Hells (Jigoku), a collection of dramatic hot spring pools that are way too hot for bathing but incredible to look at!

There are 7 main β€œhells”, each with its own character:
- Umi Jigoku (Sea Hell): a steaming cobalt blue pool and a gorgeous foot bath (one of the only places the water is hot but safe)
- Oniishibozu Jigoku (Monk’s Head Hell): bubbling grey mud pools
- Shiraike Jigoku (White Pond Hell): milky turquoise pond surrounded by gardens
- Kamado Jigoku (Cooking Pot Hell): multi-coloured pools + steam vents, plus you can buy volcanic steam-cooked eggs and buns (believed to have health benefits, but also a super fun novelty snack)
- Oniyama Jigoku (Demon Mountain Hell): home to 70+ crocodiles (!)
- Chinoike Jigoku (Blood Pond Hell): deep red iron-rich pool
- Tatsumaki Jigoku (Spout Hell): powerful geyser erupting every 30–40min

TIPS FOR VISITING
πŸ’΄ Entry: Β₯2,200 for a combo ticket (all 7 hells)
⏱️ Timing: allow 2–3hrs to explore
πŸš— Getting around: you can easily walk between the hells, but since it was raining, we drove our little hire car
β˜”οΈ When to visit: open year-round; fun even on rainy days!

this island is located about an hour from Hiroshima & is a fantastic day tripβ€” but even better as a relaxing overnighter.

⭐️ Museum of Islamic Art: one of the world’s most stunning Islamic art collections
⭐️ Dhow Harbour: traditional wooden boats bobbing in the water with Doha’s skyline behind (great for photography!)
⭐️ Mina District: neighbourhood with colourful pastel buildings & street art, best explored in golden light of late afternoon
⭐️ Fish Market: the most beautiful stained-glass ceiling I’ve ever seen, worth a quick walk through while exploring Mina!
⭐️ Qanat Quartier: a rainbow-hued β€œLittle Venice” with canals, bridges & plenty of great restaurants

HOW MANY DAYS?
we spent 4 days in Doha, but you can see most of the city’s highlights in 2-3 days

DOHA, QATAR πŸ‡ΆπŸ‡¦βœ¨

Without the flashy excess of the UAE & Saudi, Doha offers a more authentic slice of the Arabian Gulf, where culture & tradition meet striking modern architecture, world-class art, and a glittering skyline. 

We loved our time in Doha and would highly recommend as a quick stopover next time you’re flying through the Middle East!

Standing on the rim of one of the largest active volcanoes in the world, with smoke billowing out of the crater right behind us πŸŒ‹πŸ”₯

Mt Aso National Park is one of Japan’s coolest hiking spots, but still seriously underrated! With craggy lava fields, steaming vents & surreal views in every direction, you can hike right up to the rim of Nakadake Crater (when it’s safe!) and we had this spot completely to ourselves πŸ’ƒπŸ»

welcome to Qatar πŸ‡ΆπŸ‡¦βœ¨ One of the most surprising places we visited in the Middle East was Doha! Without the flashy excess of the UAE & Saudi, Doha offers a more authentic slice of the Arabian Gulf, where culture & tradition meet striking modern architecture, and the city feels welcoming, approachable & surprisingly easy to explore. HOW MANY DAYS? we spent 4 days in Doha, but you can see most of the city’s highlights in 2-3 days GETTING AROUND Uber is the best way to get across the city to visit some of the farther places of interest PLACE FEATURED IN THIS VIDEO πŸ“Souq Waqif: a buzzing market with spices, textiles & gold, perfect for getting lost + taking photos πŸ“Museum of Islamic Art: one of the world’s most stunning Islamic art collections, in an iconic I.M. Pei-designed building πŸ“Dhow Harbour: traditional wooden boats bobbing in the water with Doha’s skyline behind (great for photography or a boat ride!) πŸ“Mina District: neighbourhood with colourful pastel buildings & street art, best explored in golden light of late afternoon πŸ“Fish Market: a lively (& very local) slice of daily life in the Mina District, with the most beautiful stained-glass ceiling I’ve ever seen! πŸ“Qanat Quartier: a quirky β€œLittle Venice” with canals & bridges, plenty of great restaurants here πŸ“Katara Cultural Village: home to art galleries, amphitheatres & beachfront cafΓ©s . . . . #qatar #doha #qatarairways #arabiangulf #persiangulf #middleeast #visitQatar #DohaQatar

Pivoting away from all the Japan photos for a moment to share a sleeper hit from last year’s travels that didn’t make it onto the feed (because I’m perpetually behind on posting…) β†’ Qatar!!

This small Middle Eastern country was never on my list, but while we were in the region for the 2nd half of last year, we decided to take advantage of the Qatar Airways stopover program (this isn’t sponsored, it’s just a really cool program πŸ˜…)

For no extra cost, we were able to build a 4-day stopover into our flights from Oman to Egypt, and we ended up having WAY more fun in Qatar than expected. You don’t need long to explore (you could cram most of the highlights into 2-3 days), but it’s guaranteed to impress!

I’ll share some of our favourite experiences from Doha tomorrow, but WOW, who knew!?

I’ll share some of our favourite experiences from Doha tomorrow, but WOW, who knew!? . . . . #doha #qatar #qatarairways #stopover #middleeast
