I generally do not write reviews - I just add recipes to my favorites. But I must share several comments with readers who are considering purchasing this beautifully illustrated cookbook packed with over the top flavorful recipes!! I recently hosted a welcome shower/brunch for dear friends who just finalized the adoption of an adorable baby girl. I set about organizing my menu which included a variety of mini quiches. After going through The Peruvian Kitchen recipes I settled on also making the Artichoke Tart - one of the stars of the brunch! Barely crumbs were left! One guest had 3 slices!! It is a very easy recipe and the presentation just as stunning as the photo in the author's book! All of the guests raved about the tart! The one change I made was to make the tart with artisan gluten free flour- you couldn't tell the difference.I have since made a number of other recipes - Lomo Saltado - amazing mouthfuls of flavor as is the Seco de Carne. For several dinner parties I knew I would go directly to the Something Sweet section. Suspiro Limeno is luscious heaven in your mouth. The Apple Cake is simply scrumptious, which I also made with gluten free flour. And if you are a chocolate lover this recipe is a must to add to your favorites! As the author suggests "if there's a birthday party, rest assured that this will be the cake holding the candles." She is referring to the chocolate cake! Again - barely a crumb left! This recipes gets 10 stars!! And I've made it twice!
I bought this book as a gift. The person who received this liked it very much. The recipes were true to the Peruvian culture..
Beautiful and wonderful recipes! Love this cookbook!
Amazing book, well written and really nice dust cover.
The translation is very good. Love the recipes.
