If you want to make Lomo Saltado at home, look elsewhere. This cookbook is incredibly vague. If you want a temperature guide other than the relative terms like “hot” and “hotter” just go find another book now. This is more of a spiritual guide to reading the ingredient list of your favorite Peruvian foods. You know, something to meditate on, because there aren’t any detailed descriptions. I was going to cook lomo saltado. The recipe calls for French fries. You know what the recipe in this book says? Cook slices of potato hot. Then cook them again hotter. Thanks to Grace Young’s cookbook I know that is 300*F and again at 360*F. And you know that iconic green sauce served at every Peruvian restaurant? Anji Verde according to a quick internet search. Well if it exists in this cookbook I can’t find it. In a day and age when recipes for literally everything can be found free online it is pretty audacious to charge money for vague recipes that are missing the iconic Peruvian green sauce. I give this two stars because I haven’t delved deeply into this book, bet every recipe I go to has been the same vague mess.

Easy to understand the recipes. I have cooked several. Do wish they suggested substitutes for some of the odd ingredients. The peppers they call out are not even available at the Latin groceries in the area.

I so far have made manjar blanco and alfajores and they both came out so amazing. Super easy recipes. I purchased this because as a teacher I am involved with a Spanish camp and this summer we are focusing the culture on Peru and the recipes from this book will come in handy. Plus, I just love Peruvian food so I cannot wait to make more including my favorite Aji de gallina. Great book and can't wait to make more recipes!

Bought it for who is my husband now, we were dating . He loves cooking and he loved the food from my country and as I don't cook I decided to give this to him as a gift. He learned so many dishes from here, and pisco drinks! Now he knows some even by heart but we still try different recipes from this book all the time. We both love it!

Too bad it has no pictures except on the cover and back cover. Recipes are ok.

I lived in Peru for three years and these recipes are not only authentic, they help me figure out how to use the ingredients available here in the U.S. when the fresher ingredients I used in Peru are not available. The recipes I've tried have come out just as good (if not better) than what my Peruvian mother-in-law passed down to me.

Gave this as a gift, they loved it to get some new ideas/ variations on classic recipes

I bought this book because my son in law is from Peru and I wanted to cook some recipes. The ones that I have eaten over the past year where in the book. It’s authentic recipes and easy to understand. I would recommend the book to anyone.

No pictures, and the index is pretty useless which makes it difficult to find anything unless you know exactly what they have called the recipe. It does have a lot of recipes but it is missing a few big ones, like butternut squash soup, and lomo saltado

Good range of recipes. Frustrating that it is US measurements but I did know this before buying. Alfajores recipe got big thumbs up from a few Peruvians at the weekend!

It has all my favourite Peruvian dishes.
