Lima-born L.A. chef and restaurateur Ricardo Zarate delivers a standout cookbook on the new "it" cuisine?Peruvian. Zarate has been called "the godfather of Peruvian cuisine" for good reason?he perfectly captures the spirit of modern Peruvian food, which reflects indigenous South American food as well as Japanese, Chinese, and European influences. And he balances that variety with an American sensibility; his most popular dishes range from artfully crafted Peruvian-style sushi to his Peruvian Burger. The Fire of Peru is not only a guide to Peru's significant ingredients, techniques, food traditions, and best-known dishes (Ceviche and Pisco Sour among them), but it also captures the excitement Zarate brings to the American dining scene. The book includes 100 recipes (from appetizers to cocktails), beautiful colour photography of recipes and Peru, and special features showcasing Zarate's culinary skills. His stories are also moving and entertaining. This is a must-have book for foodies. AUTHOR: Ricardo Zarate was the founding chef/owner of celebrated LA Peruvian restaurants Picca, Mo Chica, and Paiche; he now is opening three more. He has been recognised by Food and Wine, Esquire, and the LA Times. Colour illustrations
