Cooking Demonstrations
   
After hearing many guests remark, “This is so amazing, how can I make it?”, we decided to bring our secrets out of the kitchen for “Cooking Demonstrations.”

The event begins with a welcome from the Sol & Luna management. We then proceed to drinks – our barman Delfur demonstratesn how to make famous Peruvian cocktails such as Pisco Sour (grape brandy and lime), Coca Sour (coca leaves with grape brandy) and Algarrobina (carob cocktail). Next comes the art of fruit and vegetable carving, demonstrated by our chef Nacho Selis Martinez. Learn how to fashion pumpkin roses, flower tomatoes, and carrot and turnip lillies.

Local Andean cuisine follows. Chef Nacho takes visitors through the steps of preparing specialties like Ceviche of Trout from the rivers of the Sacred Valley, Lomo Saltado of Alpaca, Soup of Quinoa, (local cereal), Duo of Ocopa, Huancaina Sauce and others.

We end by showing you ways to prepare juice from exotic “jungle fruits”. Depending on the season, these fruits may include maracuya (passionfruit), guanavana (custard apple), lucuma, granadilla, aguaymanto, sauco, tumbo and many more.

You will leave with a thorough knowledge of the tastes and flavors of the Sacred Valley.
