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.
*Kid
Friendly: Bring out the inner artist in your
child with a Demonstration especially adapted for ages
7+. Under supervision, we show kids how to carve exotic
fruits into animals, birds and a variety of unique shapes.
A fun “transforming” experience!
