The concept:
The concept for SkyKitchen is to instruct you in the trained preparation of typical Peruvian dishes in the home of a local Peruvian with an unmatched view over Lima. Chef Yurac, (a name derived from a Quechua word), opens his home to you so that the class feels as if you are visiting a friend's penthouse. This is a hands-on class. You will be guided through the preparation of all the courses of a meal, allowing you to prepare an authentic Peruvian meal from scratch. You will prepare classic Peruvian cuisine with tools you can find in your own kitchen using the freshest ingredients that you can find in the plentiful markets of Lima. You will leave with detailed instructions and recipes for recreating the meal when you return home. Surely an experience you won't soon forget. |

The idea:
"I enjoy it much more when I have the opportunity to cook with others, rather than cooking for a group of strangers, working alone in a restaurant kitchen with little to no contact with the people who eat my food. Furthermore, don't you agree it would be an unforgettable experience for you to be able to reproduce the exotic tastes from a vacation trip, even when you may not be a professional chef? SkyKitchen combines these two ideas into a unique experience. We will create an enriching time together, exchange knowledge, get to know each other and, finally, provide you with the tools necessary to take the taste and secrets of Peruvian cuisine home." |
About Yurac:
Yurac, a professionally-trained chef, started his career at Berlin's venerable establishment 'Reinard´s' in the nineties. After years of focusing on German, Italian and international cuisine, he returned to his Peruvian roots. He started cooking for Germany's Peruvian expat community and began attracting a large following of Germans. With this experience in mind he thought about how to spread Peruvian cuisine further into the world: SkyKitchen was born.
