While living in Peru, I enjoyed collecting recipes from the newspaper, buying the overly expensive cookbooks that seemed to come out once a year, and watching a variety of cooking shows from great chefs [...] If you find yourself in Buenos Aires at the end of February, don’t miss the “First Peruvian Pisco in Argentina Night” which will be hosted by the General Consulate of Peru and will be held at several successful Peruvian restaurants in the capital city on February 26-27, 2010. Peruvian Pisco Day was celebrated all over [...] Peruvian gastronomy is experiencing growth like never before which has positioned it in front of all other Latin American countries.

The tanta wawa bread is a sweet bread shaped [...] Today in the city of Huancayo, Peru, chefs and ladies from the community set out to break the 2008 record for the worlds largest Papa a la Huancaina. Today, 12,000 people were served plates of the delicious appetizer which originated in the very same city during the time of railroad construction when workers were in [...] Food art is always impressive. Ice sculptures are chipped away with incredible patience. Vegetables are carved into magnificent flowers. People even “paint” beautiful pictures with beans and grains. Even children glue pasta onto construction paper to make a picture. Admit it, you enjoyed doing that too, right? As soon as I was invited to be part [...] |
