Ceviche

In addition to being beautifully produced, the book contains in the front matter a wealth of information about the country and its cuisine. I found all the traditional recipes I wanted, as well as some great 'fusion' recipes that Martin Morales has invented. It was fun just reading it, and even better when I tried the recipes. Of course, the "hook" is that great cover that takes the reader back to a cevichería in Barranco with the white tile walls ( and flies!). Love it.

This book is very easy to use and the recipes are delicious.

Ceviche is an amazing collection of Peruvian recipes. The history of how the author started his adventure with food is interesting and the pictures are mouth watering. I will need a conversion table handy because the measurements are in grams.

I love ceviche, It is heart healthy. Now I have an entire book of different ways to prepare it.

Just back from Peru and this cookbook allows me to duplicate the delicious food with which I fell in love!

Excelent quality and content.

I am so excited to have received this cookbook, ''the first major Peruvian cookbook published for a US audience''! Indeed, although my family and I have rather a collection of cookbooks from around the world, this is our first of the cuisine of any country of South America besides Argentina! I was absolutely delighted as I opened this new cookbook. Judging my the cover you may, as I did, assume that there are no colour photographs inside. What a surprise you will have when you open this book with it's cute 'tiled' cover and see the beautiful photos inside! True to Ten Speed Press tradition and quality, almost every recipe has a stunning depiction in color. The book is a great size- full of hundreds of amazing flavor-packed recipes. You are in for a real treat!As I read (yes, I read my cookbooks more enthusiastically than any novel!) you will feel like you are not holding just a cookbook, but that in your hands you have a passport to a vibrant country. I learnt more about Peru in that time than if I had attempted to read a text book on it! This is the kind of cookbook I love.When I consider the recipes in Ceviche, I think ''fresh'', ''colourful'', and ''healthy''. The first two chapters have plenty of fresh fish recipes. (no surprise considering the title, which is the national fish dish of Peru!) There are also chapters on meat, salads and desserts.Personally, living in the land-locked Midwest, I (sadly) won't have much use for the seafood recipes. I also won't be making many of the meat dishes shown since they involve mostly pork, lamb and fowl whilst I usually am limited to chicken and beef. However, the ''salads'' chapter as well as the ''desserts'' one. The salads and vegetable dishes are probably the most unique and beautiful I have seen yet! Their presentation reminds me of French dishes yet they have an exotic flair...I can't wait to surprise my family and friends with them! The desserts look very sweet but I am already inspired to try them with a natural alternative to the sugar...Needless to say, you need to look at this book! You will be impressed.I received this book from the publisher in exchange for my honest review.Comment Comment | Permalink

The most iconic Peruvian dish is Lomo Saltado and this recipe is maybe a 2/5.First thing that is bad about this recipe is the ingredients list doesn't include French fries or rice.The directions don't say to start cooking the French fries and rice so if you are following the directions line by line you'll finish everything except the rice and fries.The recipe comes out way too salty, probably because he calls for 2/3cup of soy sauce. That's way too much!

This is great book. I am a Peruvian living in the UK now for almost 10 years now and I always find it difficult to make Peruvian food. Based on the author's experience of living in the UK the books includes very usefull additional notes in the book on where to get the ingredients or how to make them or replace them. I have bought the physical version in the past for my library and now the electronic version for when cooking.

Bien en francais

Bought this time as a present, as I love it so much!

Alla cucina etnica e leggete l'inglese, su Amazon trovate periodicamente le offerte a prezzo stracciato (un caffe' ...) di volumi in formato kindle come questo, riccamente illustrati e con un mix di dati storico-geografici e culinari. Magari al massimo cucinerete un paio delle ricette illustrate (anche perchè spesso gli ingredienti non sono di facile reperimento e il loro gusto non sempre coincide con il nostro palato). Ma anche solo per sfogliarli su un tablet grande "guardando le figure" valgono in pieno questo modesto prezzo.

Utilicé para regalo el producto y gustó mucho.
