About Peruvian cuisine and Pisco

The US food critic Eric Asimov has described Peruvian cuisine as one of the world's most important cuisines and as an exemplar of fusion cuisine, due to its long multicultural history.

The iconic Peruvian meal is ceviche: raw fish cured in lime juice, and spiced with aji, coriander, and onions.

Another delectable meal is roccoto relleno; a pepper stuffed with meat and vegetables and oven-baked with cheese on top (see first picture above).

​

Other remarkable Peruvian dishes include: aji de gallina, locro de zapallo, guiso de quinoa, lomo saltado, frejoles con carne, tortilla de verduras, chupe de pescado, chicharron de calamar, arroz tapado.
