Saturday, April 23rd-Peru: The Cookbook by Gaston Acurio.
With restaurants throughout Peru and across the world, Gaston Acurio is the leading ambassador for Peruvian gastronomy. Peruvian food has evolved from such an interesting mix of cultures. Immigrants from Japan, China, Africa, Spain, Italy and the Arab world have all migrated to Peru over the last 500 years, bringing their own culinary traditions. This mix of countries has resulted in a vibrant and unique cuisine that transforms each of these peoples foods into something entirely new.
Some of the recipes you will prepare in this class are:
-Ceviche with Aji Amarillo Licuado and Cancha (Ceviche with Chilies and Toasted Corn);
-Yuquitas Fritas con Huancaina (Fried Yuca with Spicy Creamy Sauce);
-Aji de Gallina (Peruvian Creamy Pepper Chicken with Pecans);
-Solterito de Quinua (Quinoa Salad with Queso Fresco, Yellow Chilies, and Fava Beans); --Alfajor Clasico (Traditional Alfajor Cookies with Dulce de Leche)
