    great Peruvian cookbook
  

*by D***N on Reviewed in the United States on October 26, 2010*

I have been collecting Peruvian cookbooks for many years since my mother is form Peru. I have about 80 so far, vintage and modern. I have a good working background of the regional styles of cuisine from Peru. I have to disagree with the other reviews of The Food and Cooking of Peru by Flor Arcaya de Deliot. The recipes do represent the typical dishes from this country- these are the dishes that are found in most Peruvian cookbooks. The author  is also Peruvian (Copeland Marks, author of the Exotic Kitchens of Peru, is a gringo and many of his recipes bare NOT authentic). Since there are not many Peruvian cookbooks available in the U.S, this book has a good representation of everyday meals that Peruvians grow up with. It has great photos and rather simple recipes. My main complaint is that recipes get lost in translation. For example, the chef is told to use "beer" instead of a specific beer (e.g. chicha, light beer). My other complaint is that the book fails to describe the common ajis or chilis that are the backbone to Peruvian gastromony. Although the book does has a nice introduction to Peruvian cuisine and the classic ingredients, it does not describe the main ajies that are used such as aji amarillo, aji panca, aji mirasol, rocoto, and aji limo. They all have distintive flavors and can bed used fresh, dried, and in paste. The book does not really go into that. The recipes do not distinguish between what type of ajis; the directions just mention to use red or yellow chilies. I think it would be helpful to the reader to be more specific since the book has a good resource directory for Peruvian ingredients that are difficult to find.
