In Peru, the national gastronomy, regarded as one of the largest in the world, is at the heart of a movement of identity renewal. Charming because of its authenticity, despite its variety of influences, it is a true national pride as shown by the cultural and identity claims linked to it. Through various characters, we will trace the history, the mixed origins, the dishes and the favourite ingredients of this cooking style.
