Cooking Up Dreams in Lima

by admin on December 14, 2009

A new documentry titled De Ollas y Sueños, or Cooking Up Dreams, is playing in Lima this week. The film covers the rise of Peruvian cuisine, and features scenes with famous chefs such as Gaston Acurio. In an article for Living in Peru, Nathan Paluck writes, “It’s 75 minutes of people profiles, swirling saucepans and hundred-years-old cooking methods.” The national cuisine is as much a part of Peruvian culture as the language and the landscape, and this film shows viewers how Peruvian food is now impacting the world. As Paluck says, it is safe to say Peruvian food has arrived.
