What to expect

Andean breads cooking class

This hands-on Andean breads cooking class focuses on heritage recipes from the Andes and the powerful native ingredients behind them. Across the session, you follow clear, practical techniques to create three artisanal breads from scratch, while learning how these preparations connect to local culture and nutrition.

Features

• Three artisanal breads form the core of the workshop, and you work through the exact step-by-step techniques needed to mix, knead, shape, and bake each traditional handmade loaf from start to finish.

• Iconic native flavors are central to the class, so you work directly with authentic Peruvian ingredients such as ancient coca leaf, vibrant purple corn, and multicolored quinoa seeds as you build each dough.

• Tradition meets health as your professional guide explains the history, cultural significance, and nutritional value of these Andean superfoods, showing how they have supported local communities and how they fit into modern healthy cooking.

• Practical takeaways are a key focus, and you gain new artisanal baking skills along with recipes that help you confidently recreate healthy Andean breads for family and friends at home.

• A professional chef leads the culinary side of the experience, demonstrating each stage of the process and correcting your technique so your breads develop the right texture, flavor, and appearance.

• Your professional guide supports the session by adding context, answering questions about ingredients and traditions, and helping you follow the sequence of tasks throughout the class.

• All ingredients are provided on-site, pre-measured and ready to use, so you can focus on learning how to handle coca leaf, purple corn, quinoa, and other components rather than sourcing them yourself.

• Cookware is also provided, including the essential tools and baking equipment needed for Andean bread preparation, so you have everything required at your station without bringing anything from home.
