A wealth of ingredients and cultures made food a source of pride and ‘agent of change’
In a high volcanic corner of south-east Peru, the land is so barren that Nasa used it to test whether potatoes could be grown on Mars. But the vast desert of red dirt soon gives way to a lush river valley, where farmers live off an abundance of vegetables, and then plunges into a Pacific Ocean brimming with seafood. With its long coastline, snowcapped peaks and thick rainforests, Peru is one of the most biologically diverse countries in the world.
” As Peru’s superstar chef and undisputed trailblazer, Acurio led the culinary boom by fostering a movement that positions food as an instrument for national pride — making it an engine of tourism, the restaurant business, agriculture and fisheries. When Acurio and his peers began to stir things up, a little over two decades ago, the country “had low self-esteem”, says Martínez, who once worked for him.
