What is the peruvian cuisine?
Peruvian cuisine is a magnificient combination of Spanish cuisine with traditional native Peruvian ingredients, with later influences from the cuisines of China, Italy, France, West Africa and Japan, due to the arrival of immigrants from those locations
The Peruvian cuisine is delicious and reflects the nation's diverse cultural history. Like many other expressions of Peruvian culture, the food dates back to pre-Inca times but also reflects the tastes of migrant populations.
How it began?
The Inca had a group of chefs assigned to cook for him, his extended families and guests. During this period the food consisted largely of maize, potatoes, squash and animal products from llama, deer and nunuma birds. The Incas enjoyed fruits indigenous to South America such as bananas, papayas, avocados and pineapples. Seafood was popular in coastal regions where the wide variety of fish found in the Peruvian ocean allowed fishing to prosper. Even then, the cuisine was vast and exotic. 'Aji' was the most popular seasoning and you'll find it in much Peruvian cuisine today.
Influences from abroad
Immigrants from Europe added meats such as beef, poultry and rabbit. The Spanish brought grapes, olives and a variety of new fruits and vegetables as well as sugar cane which gave rise to a variety of desserts.
After the Peruvian independence from Spain, the cuisine became influenced by the 19th century immigration of Chinese people. The born of peruvian food is known also as Peruvian Creole food.
