five hundred years of fusion has made the cuisine what it is
today. Morales loves it all. The delicious Andean specialties
made by indigenous people. The street foods made
popular by the Afro-Peruvians and Criollos. The wok-cooked meals found in the many
chifas (Chinese-Peruvian restaurants) of Lima. The European-influenced dishes that
have become truly Peruvian. And, of course, the ceviches (the national dish of Peru) in
all their variations, including those influenced by the Japanese. When made with
sazón (loving care), he knows that nothing can beat this cuisine.
Ceviche: Peruvian Kitchen delivers a refreshing collection of recipes—those beloved
by customers, those that Morales grew up with, and those that have been treasured
for hundreds of years. If you have yet to try Peruvian food, you are in for a real treat
with this book as your guide.
