Peruvian Food In The Media: Newsweek & Globorati

Peruvian food continues to get coverage in both traditional and electronic media.

In the last few days, US newsmagazine, Newsweek, published an article about the Peruvian food boom, as did newly-launched Globorati, an online upscale travel guide that has been garnering its own bevy of press.


Newsweek's Joseph Contreras states, "During my years of traipsing around Latin America, I have always regarded Lima as one of the underrated gastronomic capitals of the hemisphere. There's nothing like unwinding at a seaside eatery in one of the Peruvian capital's outlying suburbs with a frothy pisco sour cocktail and a plate of seviche marinated in lime juice and ají peppers."

His article also makes mention of Culinary Tour Peru, which was mentioned in this previous post regarding a Reuters article about Peruvian food, as well as in this Spanish-language El Comercio article.

Meanwhile, the folks at Globorati: Jet Set Intelligence (love the name), posted about Lima's ceviche cognoscenti in which they summarize and link their way into the web's own cevichería. As I said, Globorati has already been mentioned in The New York Post, the Wall Street Journal, and Condé Nast Traveler.

Manhattan in Central Lima

Far away from the hubbub of Central Lima is the Manhattan, the perfect place to have a quiet, genteel lunch after a busy morning sight-seeing in the colonial center of Lima.

Full of suits from the Peruvian stock exchange and some of the country's leading journalists, the Manhattan offers excellent service and a quality international and Peruvian menu.

El Rincón Que No Conoces in Lince

In Peru, Teresa Izquierdo is a legend.

A cook's daughter, this Afro-Peruvian chef has attained great acclaim as one of the chief proponents of traditional coastal criollo cuisine.

Her restaurant in the the working-class neighborhood of Lince is not the most glamorous in the Peruvian capital, but the food is always classic, and consistently good.
