5.0 out of 5 stars Stellar Peruvian/Nuevo Andino cookbook, September 12, 2004

By	Inquiring Mind (Brookline, MA United States) - See all my reviews

We first happened upon this book in 2004 in a bookstore in Miraflores, where it was the most recommended book by the proprietors. And with good reason. Having lived in Lima for a year, with a keen appreciation for great Peruvian cooking, I can attest to the excellence of these recipes and their ease of preparation as written up. With weights, measures and even ingredients transposed to our North American approaches, there is nothing to prevent you from finding the right components here and preparing them as the best chefs in Lima might. Plus absolutely outstanding photographs, and the book's proceeds support a very worthy charity in Peru. Buy it, sip a Pisco sour (yes, Pisco brandy is available all over North America), let the ceviche prepare itself for 1-2 hours, and settle in for a relaxed South American adventure.

5.0 out of 5 stars Expensive but good, August 31, 2004

By	Victoria (Honolulu, Hawaii) - See all my reviews

I developed a taste for peruvian food when we lived in LA. Ever since then my husband and i have been hunting for a good cookbook to replicate some of our favorite dishes since there is only one peruvian restorant in minnesota and it cost an arm and a leg to eat there. This is the most authentic book on peruvian cuisine. It also has pictures and explanations on what the ingridients are. We've made number of dishes and they all turned out great!
This book is a must have!
