Chifa cooking class at 18 Reasons
Lima’s Chinatown is one of the oldest in the America’s and thanks to Chinese immigrants that arrived in Peru 150 years ago, a new cuisine was born — Chifa, or Chinese-Peruvian food. Some recipes are traditional, and others are a fusion, but all of them are well loved and have made Chifas very popular all over Peru. For my family, Chifas have always been where we go to celebrate a birthday, anniversary, or special occasion with a family style feast. In this hands-on cooking class you will prepare three Chifa dishes, and enjoy them in a sit-down family style meal.
