Hi! I am Jaime. I cook at home for many years since I started to live alone, then I took it more seriously, trying, making mistakes, learning, trying again, at the end after trying too manyu times I learn many food secrets.
Peruvian food is amazing, it has many regional variations.
My roots are from Lima, so I learnt basically the classic Limeño style.
I can´t say I know everything, but what I know I´d like to share with you.
Cooking a Lomo Saltado or a Ceviche at home is not the same as at a Restaurant, you don´t have the same kitchen, fire power, room, tools, etc,
What I will share is the traditional way to cook, in a space that you can reply wherever you´ll be. Serving in a homestyle.
Let´s enjoy and share the food.
Here is where I started: cooking and photography
This is where my culinary journey began.
Coming from a background in design, photography, and marketing, I spent many years working with consumer brands and their products before discovering a new passion: cooking and food presentation.
Along the way, I learned to prepare many of Peru’s most iconic recipes. Some of the dishes and drinks we can make together include Lomo Saltado, Ceviche, Causa, Pisco Sour, Chilcano, Arroz Chaufa, Arroz con Pollo, Carapulcra, and Papa a la Huancaína, among other beloved Peruvian specialties. Many og my personal recipes are in my instagram account: https://www.instagram.com/lacocinadejames/
Our standard cooking experience focuses on some of these classic dishes, but that’s only the beginning. Depending on your interests, we can design a customized cooking session that includes additional recipes and techniques. Whether you want to learn how to prepare traditional Peruvian comfort food, master our national cocktails, or explore regional specialties, we can tailor the experience to your preferences whenever possible.
From shopping for ingredients to cooking, plating, and tasting, this is a hands-on opportunity to discover the flavors, traditions, and culture that make Peruvian cuisine one of the most celebrated in the world.
