What you'll learn
Ocas, mashuas, ollucos, and various types of potatoes in different textures: Discover Peru’s emblematic tubers. We will create dehydrated rolls filled with a delicate tuber cream, offering a sensory experience with creamy interiors and crispy exteriors. This dish is complemented by tunta (a high-altitude dehydrated potato) and a delicate glaze of huacatay oil (Andean herb).
Paracas scallops, peas and beans:The flavor of a traditional “leche de tigre” merges with the distinctive color of legumes, while the crispy texture of coral and the various nuances of oils add depth to a dish where scallops take center stage.
Amazonian paiche: Enjoy a creamy macambo seed puree, a mushroom sauce enriched with Amazonian chorizo for an earthy, aromatic touch, a crumble of Amazonian chestnuts adding a crispy texture to the paiche, and a chonta (palm heart) salad.
Andean corns and grains: Prepare a black tamale from scratch, using the same corn husk to create a powder that provides its distinctive color. This dish also incorporates firm, silky, and frothy textures, showcasing the versatility of corn. Additionally, quinoa is used in pickled and puffed forms.
Andean guinea pig: You’ll learn how to clean and confit guinea pig, one of Peru’s traditional proteins, with soft meat and crispy skin. The roasted vegetables offer a smoky and sweet flavor, complemented by the touch of freshness provided by the leaves of the vegetable garden.
Arazá cloud, melipona honey, copoazu sorbet, Amazonian cream: For this dessert we start with a sorbet base to which we add copoazú pulp, a theobroma with a citric and fresh aroma. An additional element that stands out is a meringue made with albumen powder, which is flavored with arazá juice. Other surprising textures are also added.
