Comida Peruana (Peruvian Cuisine)

This Supper Club will take place in a private home in Lake San Marcos.

Peruvian cuisine, the ultimate fusion food, reflects local ingredients from the indigenous population, including the Andean and Amazonian cuisine, and cuisines brought by immigrants from Europe (Spanish & Italian cuisines), Asia (Chinese & Japanese cuisines), and Africa (Maghrebi & West African cuisines).

The four traditional staples of Peruvian cuisine are corn, potatoes, Amaranthaceae (quinoa, etc.), and legumes. The most important ingredient in all Peruvian cuisine is the potato, over 3800 kinds, as Peru has the widest variety of potatoes in the world. Over 99% of all cultivated potatoes worldwide are descendants of a single subspecies originating in Peru (not Ireland).

***To ensure a variety of courses/dishes, please read what others have posted before posting your dish. Click on "See More Comments" so ALL comments/posts are visible to you for review.***

IF you RSVP "Yes", change your mind, and do not change your RSVP to "No", you will be deleted from the group. We often have a Waitlist, plus our hosts arrange for the number of guests who have RSVP'd "Yes" and a no-show is insensitive to the host.

ALSO, if you are RSVP'ing for yourself and a "plus one", make sure there are enough spots for both of you.

ALSO, please come prepared with all platters & serving utensils you need to serve your dish.

Buen provecho
