Transport your kitchen to the Amazon in this cooking class with a chef, live from Peru

The Amazon is a vast, vast place. Covering over 6.7 million square kilometres, home to 47 million people, including 2 million indigenous people - the Amazon is the world's largest tropical rainforest and an immensely beautiful and diverse place. 


In this cooking class, we invite you to join us for a trip to one of the world's most fascinating regions. Immerse yourself into the Amazonian flavours of Peru.  Get to know the Chinese influence on this culture and cuisine as you indulge your palate with the taste of umami. The star of this meal is Amazonian Chaufa. This fried rice dish includes all the usual suspects… but things become interesting very quickly when Chinese and Peruvian flavours begin to meet bringing the Amazonian ingredients and food culture into a new life… ripe plantain, pork loin and bacon. Savory, sweet and smoky. This dish will change your definition of fried rice.


Rounding out the meal you’ll learn to make a sweet and savory, cheesy Baked Plantain and a refreshing Heart of Palm Salad, full of texture and Amazonian flavours. Get your kitchen ready because we’re heading to the jungles of Peru!

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!
