Peru: The Cookbook

Gastón Acurio is the most important figure in the global recognition of Peruvian cuisine — the chef, writer, and activist who has spent three decades arguing that the food of Peru, with its extraordinary diversity of ecosystems, its fusion of indigenous, Spanish, African, Chinese, and Japanese culinary traditions, and its unparalleled biodiversity of ingredients, deserves to be ranked among the world’s great cuisines. Peru: The Cookbook is the comprehensive presentation of that cuisine — over five hundred recipes drawn from every region and every tradition, organised to make the full range of Peruvian cooking accessible to cooks anywhere in the world.

The definitive Peruvian cookbook — an indispensable resource and a magnificent celebration of one of the world’s most exciting and most underappreciated culinary traditions. Published by Phaidon.
