Peruvian Cuisine is well known as one of the best in the world.  The US food critic Eric Asimov has described it as one of the world's most important cuisines and as an exemplar of fusion cuisine, due to its long multicultural history

The four traditional staples of Peruvian cuisine are corn, potatoes, and other tubers, Amaranthaceaes (quinoa, kañiwa and kiwicha), and legumes (beans and lupins). Staples brought by the Spanish include rice, wheat and meats (beef, pork and chicken). Chef Gaston Acurio has become well-known for raising awareness of local ingredients. The most important ingredient in all Peruvian cuisine is the potato, as Peru has the widest variety of potatoes in the world

Peruvian cuisine has ingredients including influences mainly from the local Andean population, including the Inca, and cuisines brought by immigrants from Europe (Spanish and Italian cuisine), Asia (Chinese cuisine and Japanese cuisine), and African

As you explore higher to the valleys and plains of the Andes, you'll find that food there is mainly based on corn and potatoes, two key energy sources of the Inca Empire (1438–1533). Potatoes were first developed here about 8,000 years ago, and Peru has an amazing number of different varieties of potatoes (some estimate over 4,000 varieties), many of which are still used in cooking today.

Over time there has been a lot of food development in different parts of the country. When talking about Peru, we often think of Machu Picchu. However, Peru offers much more than just iconic sights. Its delicious cuisine is world-famous. It's been the winner of the World's Leading Culinary Destination awarded by the World Travel Awards for seven consecutive years, the only country to win the prize since the awards began in 2012. The country's capital, Lima is considered the culinary capital of Latin America. No wonder foodies from the world over flock to this amazing land in search of fabulous culinary experiences. Also, if you are also thinking about a foodie trip to Peru, you are in the right place
