Gastón Acurio is, hands down, Peru's most famous chef, running Astrid y Gastón in Lima, and it's largely down to him that Peruvian food gets discussed internationally at all. This book gathers the country's recipes with the breadth needed to show what's actually going on: ceviche and anticuchos, sure, but also the Japanese and Chinese influences that have shaped the cuisine for over a hundred years. It's the definitive rundown of a cuisine that, until very recently, got filed under exotic footnote.
