What you'll do

Cooking for me since I was little has been an act of love, an art to enjoy and with which you can learn a lot about the history of a country and its people. Peru is not only a gastronomic place par excellence, but its food and everything that the kitchen means to us is what gives us identity and makes us feel proud. In this interactive experience we will learn together to prepare a delicious Peruvian ceviche, its ingredients, processes, sauces and a pisco sour to toast together for one of the most emblematic and delicious Peruvian dishes. I will teach you the techniques and secrets that I have been able to learn over the years and although I am in my house in Peru, you will have the opportunity to prepare two of the most exquisite Peruvian recipes and with the supplies you have in your country to adapt and that you can do it yourself at home.

The most important thing for me is that despite the distance, we feel that we are together and that when this interactive class ends, you want to come to Peru and we can meet personally and try together what we now do remotely.

I am a cheerful and passionate Peruvian chef and communicator. I studied at the Le cordon Bleu school and from there I am the founder of Melissa Zagazeta Catering, who has been in Colombia for 5 years where I held many events and was invited to television channels such as Televid and Teleantioquia. Since I returned to Lima, I have traveled on gastronomic tours inside and outside the country to learn and incorporate new culinary techniques into my experiences. I have had the opportunity to cook for many celebrities such as Blur, Daddy Yankee, Nicky Jam, Sebastian Yatra and others. In these two years with airbnb I have received more than 1000 people from all over the world, I have more than 250 5-star reviews and I have had the honor of winning the national prize in knowledge, but above all I have made great friends.

Melissa is AMAZING and we had the best time! She’s so cute and welcomed us into her home. And of course, the ceviche was DELICIOUS. We’d never had Peruvian ceviche and it was wonderful. We celebrated my boyfriend’s birthday with this experience and I 10/10 recommend others to do the same. Can’t wait to visit Melissa in Peru, and see her when she is in the United States!

Melissa is an amazing chef! My friend and I did our second class with her and she made sure we learned new recipes and techniques. Really great value and good time! I have already made the recipes again. Thank you!

Melissa's advance instructions were clear and she was very easy to reach with any questions. During the class, she was super fun and knowledgeable. The food was AMAZING. Can't wait to visit Peru to do this experience in person!

first of all I want to emphasize Melissa's contagious friendliness and energy: besides having LOTS of patience and explaining very well all the steps we had fun and she turned my birthday into a party! Melissa managed to get us to create the best cevice we've ever had - it was spectacular! We immediately made it again the next night (with a decent result ;-)). We will definitely be taking a class with Melissa again. Thank you Melissa for sharing your great experience! see you soon.

Melissa is awesome, a great cook, an excellent host and a great companion for your cooking experience. She helped me prepare the ceviche so that I can bring it to my early evening get-together with two other friends. We all loved to enjoy it as the appetizer before dinner. Wonderful how the flavors mingle in this dish. Highly recommended!
