Latin American Cuisine from Peru

-Pedro J Torres

Peruvian food is as unique as the country’s varied cultural influences

The coast, the Andes Mountains, and the Amazon

!

each region brings its own flavors and traditions.

The Dishes

To Start (Para Empezar)

Just get the ceviche. fresh fish in lime juice with

onions and a little spice. It’s the simplicity that makes this so much

better than ceviche from elsewhere.

Entrees (Plato Principal)

Lomo Saltado and Aji de Gallina are rich and

hearty dishes that rival any other main course from any other country

in terms of taste.

Salsa

With so many spicy peppers in the region and centuries of practice preparing them wherever you

go, there will be a unique salsa for you to add to your dish.

!

Soups (Sopas)

Peruvian soups from the Andes tend to be very hearty. The unique flavors from the

mountain region coupled with delicious Peruvian meat make these soups something you’ll keep coming back for.

delicious fried pumpkin with honey.
