Lovely Time with a Great Host Chef
Chef David was a lovely host. He was so informative about the history of the dishes we made (anticuchos, and picarones). My partner and I felt involved in each step of the experience. We learned so much and would highly reccomend that others do this experience or others with Chef David.

Fun night with great food
What a great way to experience living like a local! Chef David was very warm and welcoming and the food was fantastic. Pamela guided us through the after-dinner water fountain extravaganza which was not only immersive in local family fun but informative about Peru’s history and culture. We enjoyed this tremendously.

A memorable evening in Peru
Our chef David was a fantastic instructor and a wonderful host. His encouragement and enthusiasm made the whole culinary experience a delight. Following his lead, we put together and enjoyed a traditional two course dinner and a beautiful local cocktail. We then went with Jean Paul to the Magic Water Show which was a unique experience. We were picked up and dropped off on time, and we highly recommend the activity and the company

Lima Gourmet: 3 Authentic Delicacies Making with a Native Chef: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Lima.
How much does Lima Gourmet: 3 Authentic Delicacies Making with a Native Chef cost?
+
Prices start at $75 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Lima usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Lima Gourmet: 3 Authentic Delicacies Making with a Native Chef take?
+
Plan for about 2.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Lima is not rushed.
Is Lima Gourmet: 3 Authentic Delicacies Making with a Native Chef worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 56 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 4 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Lima, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Lima Gourmet: 3 Authentic Delicacies Making with a Native Chef?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Lima Gourmet: 3 Authentic Delicacies Making with a Native Chef suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Lima Gourmet: 3 Authentic Delicacies Making with a Native Chef?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Lima can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Lima and add a light layer if any part of the 2.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Lima Gourmet: 3 Authentic Delicacies Making with a Native Chef start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Lima within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Lima?
+
On Outty we rank every Lima experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Paracas & Huacachina Premium Experience from Lima, Day Tour From Lima: Paracas, Huacachina, Pisco Vineyard & Sunset, Premium Paracas & Huacachina Day Trip from Lima with Sunset Toast. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Lima?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Lima?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
