Summary: close to home cooking
Review: I found the recipes easy to follow.Very close to the way my mother cooks them. Even better when I was able to get the ingredients at a store in bellevue called LA Espanola (425-641-0249). They carry the yellow chile (aji) and red chile (aji) and other ingredients that gives Peruvian cooking its unique flavor.

Summary: Not perfect but pretty good
Review: If you're like me, someone who loves Peruvian food but didn't really learn how to cook Peruvian food and now wants to try, this book will be a great help. True, some of the recipes don't quite hit the mark to what I am used to, but this is a great start. I especially liked that the recipes list the cities or regions where they were created, and even mentions the fusion in Chinese-Peruvian and Japanese-Peruvian cuisines.

Summary: Excellent authentic recipes
Review: When my son and I went to Peru on vacation a couple of years ago, we fell in love with Peruvian food. With this book you can make a pretty good stab at capturing the tastes of the area--assuming you are able to find the ingredients. Fortunately, many communities now have markets that specialize in items from South and Central America. My favorite recipes are: 1) Ceviche de pescado, fresh fish "cooked" in lime juice. Two recipes are provided, one from Trujillo and one from Cuzco; 2) Sajta de pollo, special chicken in peanut sauce; and 3) Adobo de chancho, spicy pork with potatoes and yuca.
