What is Peru?

Peru is the earthy smell, misty sky, the long dessert roads, the humidity of the jungle, the cold from the Andeans mountains, the uniqueness of our delicious dishes. The mixtures of our people from, afro-peru, mestizos, Asian, and Amerindians are the flavor, texture, and uniqueness of our food. All of this and more is Peru!

The andean, creole, jungle, modern Peruvian cuisine, OHHH and lets not forget the seafood are all part of every single Peruvian, whether they can cook it or just eat it. The different hot peppers (yellow chili), the more than 180 kinds of potatoes, the caihua (stuffing cucumber), white corn (choclo), purple corn, olluco, more than 15 varieties of tomatoes, and many more are all these are a little part of every Peruvian.

So now what am I going to do?

 I’m going to teach you to cook some Peruvian food or at least pull you to want to try it!! Oh and I will include a family secret in each recipe to enhance the flavor of every dish. And if you ask yourself why do we have a little secret, well that’s because many our seasonings and items we use are not found in the United States or are not permitted in the country.

So for our next meeting the recipe will be for The Famous Peruvian Ceviche…

Till then  : )
