Captures the flavors and excitement of Peruvian food, from rustic stews to specialty dishes to fabulous cocktails. Lima-born Los Angeles chef and restaurateur Ricardo Zarate delivers a standout cookbook on the new it cuisine -- the food of Peru. Zarate has been called the godfather of Peruvian cuisine for good reason : He perfectly captures the spirit of modern Peruvian cooking, which reflects indigenous South American foods as well as Japanese, Chinese, and European influences, but also balances that variety with an American sensibility ; his most popular dishes range from classic recipes (such as ceviche and Pisco sour) to artfully crafted Peruvian-style sushi to a Peruvian burger. "Award-winning, Lima-born Los Angeles chef Ricardo Zarate brings us the most exciting cuisine in today's food landscape -- that of Peru. A happy mezcla (mix) of indigenous South American, Asian, African, and European influences, this cuisine -- and Zarate's bold, innovative style in particular -- consistently thrills with big, explosive flavors and unexpected combinations. One of thirteen children who cooked for his whole family, sold anticuchos (grilled street foods) for extra cash as a kid, and grew up to open multiple acclaimed restaurants, Zarate's passion for creating good food shines on every page of this vibrant and personal book. Whether traditional (ceviches and sushi-style fish, potato causas, stir-fries, grilled meats, and more) or new (global mash-ups such as Peruvian-style burgers or fresh takes on Pisco cocktails), each of these 100 recipes and the images and stories that accompany them vividly captures the spirit of modern Peruvian cooking."-- |
