Our team had an incredible experience with Chef Gustavo. His teaching techniques are straightforward and easy to follow, making us excited to recreate the dishes we learned. Chef Gustavo infuses each dish with rich history, adding a unique touch that we will cherish. His kitchen is charming and ideal for small groups. We highly recommend Chef Gustavo’s classes and look forward to scheduling another team-building event soon.

Food has been at the heart of the human experience for millennia. For as long as humans have gathered. food meant life or death for the community, and sharing food cemented the common bonds that eventually became society. Chef Gustavo uses this as a preamble for an evening with Peruvian cuisine. He spends time with each student discussing the ingredients and how to properly prepare them. When everything comes together with the proper flavors, temperatures, and presentation, it is a work of art you want to savor with your eyes before you start nibbling at the edges. But the Chef is not at all imposing. In fact, he is accommodating to everyone gathered around the table and respectful of their abilities and their backgrounds. There were seven of us and we all fit comfortably around the table. Everything was just right, and it was an enjoyable evening.
