Master the one pot meal, Arroz con Pollo, in this private Peruvian cooking class

In this epic cooking class, you'll master the Peruvian staple, Arroz con Pollo. The combination of chicken and rice can be found in every culture and is well represented throughout Latin America and Spain (Paella anyone?), but each region has their own version and the final dish takes on specifics to their land. Arroz con Pollo is a dish as old as the 1900's that has evolved over time. In the family home, each has their nuisances with most Peruvians adding peas and carrots, but some adding pepper or corn and others change out the traditional green rice with yellow rice. In this cooking experience, you'll learn the version of this one-pot meal to end all one-pot meals. Your chef, video calling you live from Peru, will teach you how the fusion of flavors can take chicken, rice and potatoes to another level.


In this private virtual cooking class Chef Lucia will teach you to make three different dishes. They're served on one plate, because as you'll learn, each separate dish is elevated to a new level when served together. At the end of your class, you'll have made Peruvian Chicken, Green Rice, Papa a la Huancaina (the perfect way to understand the Peruvian Andes) and a fresh Sarsa Criolla, that brings everything together. Transport your kitchen to Peru for the day. Get private coaching, enjoy some laughs, make a new friend and have a fabulous meal.

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!
