Savor with Purpose: Our Giving Back Prix Fixe Menu for Pachacútec School

At JARANA, we believe in the power of community and the importance of giving back. This November, we’re excited to introduce our Giving Back Prix Fixe Menu, where every meal you enjoy helps support the students of Pachacútec School in Peru. From November 1 to 30, a portion of the proceeds from this special menu will go directly to enhancing educational opportunities for children in need.

About Pachacútec School

Founded in 2007 by renowned chef Gastón Acurio, Pachacútec School has become a landmark in the culinary education of Peru. This institution is dedicated to training aspiring chefs to meet the demands of a competitive job market. In modern facilities, the best talents from Acurio Restaurantes, alongside recognized industry professionals, guide students in developing the skills necessary for success.

Students at Pachacútec learn about the diverse culinary traditions of Peru’s regions—both North and South. They gain expertise in preparing seafood dishes and international cuisines, including European and Asian influences. Additionally, students have the opportunity to explore the sweet world of chocolatería, pastelería, and traditional Peruvian desserts. By supporting Pachacútec School, we are investing in the future of these talented individuals, helping them to realize their dreams and contribute to the culinary landscape of Peru.
