What defines Peruvian cooking
Peruvian cooking draws on Andean, coastal, and Amazonian traditions, blending indigenous staples like potatoes and corn with Spanish, African, Chinese, and Japanese influences brought through centuries of immigration. Garlic and onion form the aromatic base for countless stews and rice dishes, while lime juice adds the bright acidity behind ceviche, and cumin lends warmth to braises and marinades. A home cook exploring these recipes will notice a steady emphasis on fresh chiles, slow-cooked stews, and simple grilled or pan-fried proteins finished with a squeeze of citrus.
