I am from Peru and these recipes are very authentic. The book made me feel right at home. The recipes are very easy to follow and the results were great. I can't wait to try more of the recipes. The ingredients are easy to find in grocery stores. I am planing on buying more copies to give as gifts.

Finally a book for those who want to cook authentic Peruvian cuisine, but can't find it written in English! I am a 1st generation American with Peruvian parents who had Niccoli cookbooks in Spanish. My Spanish isn't that great so I would look for Peruvian recipes in English. This book is easy to follow (got pictures!!), gave me great reviews with my American and Latino friends, and it won't break the bank!

Do not waste your money on this BLACK & WHITE "cheap" paper magazine style "book"... You are better off pulling recipes from the internet and printing your self.
