Learn how to work with quinoa and more of Peru's most nutritional ingredients in this Peruvian Superfood cooking class

Peru is a country with incredibly diverse landscapes and microclimates. Because of this, it's also home to a long list of mighty, nutrient dense ingredients more commonly known as superfoods. In this vegetarian class we explore one of Peru's most famous superfoods - quinoa. 


Quinoa is considered one of the world's healthiest foods. Technically a seed, quinoa comes from the Chenopodium quinoa plant which has been cultivated for over 5,000 years in the Andes. Known as the “gold of the Incas”, it is rumoured to have once been the food of choice for Andean warriors to boost their stamina. In this cooking class you’ll learn three ways to incorporate quinoa into your kitchen. First, you'll prepare a local hot drink often served for breakfast to give you energy, a traditional Andean Quinoa and Vegetable soup and last but not least, a Quinoa Stir-Fry with Vegetables.


All three dishes are rich with history and tradition and can easily be incorporated into your weekly repertoire of meals. It’s time to bring this superfood of Peru into your home! Get ready to transport your kitchen to Peru.

Jada Amber

Loved our Arroz Con Pollo class with Chef Lucia. She was so friendly and enthusiastic. We do want to travel to Peru now. This was a really fun experience for a couple. Could also see doing this with two couples or a group event. Oh, and the food was amazing. We are so glad we did this.

William Lund

Today with me in Toronto and my friend in London and the chef in Peru we made the ceviche menu. So well organized and Lucia the chef was fantastic. The food was delicious and it was fun as well as informative. Thank you so much The Chef and the Dish and I would highly recommend anyone to give them a try.

Charlotte Cummins

Chef Lucia was SO fun and easy to work with! I took the 'arroz con pollo' class and not only was the meal one of the best I have ever had, it was also easy to follow. I felt like I was cooking with a good friend because she was so personable. I still can't believe I made that dish in my own kitchen. It was much better than paying for a plate at a fancy restaurant because she taught me how to make it forever, AND she taught me little cooking tricks and techniques along the way!
