Lima the Cookbook

Food & Drink

Lima the Cookbook gathers the vibrant recipes and stories of Peru’s dynamic capital, captured by chefs Luciana Bianchi and Virgilio Martínez. Their 2015 hardcover invites cooks of every age to recreate the city’s coastal ceviches, street snacks, and Andean-influenced dishes at home.

Fully illustrated with vivid photography, the 224-page volume doubles as a cultural guide, exploring how Lima’s diverse heritage shapes its cuisine. The generous page size (195 x 247 mm) makes room for step-by-step shots and ingredient glossaries that demystify Peruvian staples.

This second-hand copy remains in very good condition: clean pages, no writing or dog-ears, just light shelf wear on the cover. A sturdy Octopus Publishing Group edition weighing just over a kilo, it’s ready to anchor both kitchen work and coffee-table browsing.

Fans of Latin American cookbooks, food photography, and global flavors will find this an inspiring reference. Search “Lima cookbook Bianchi Martínez hardcover” to claim a copy that celebrates Peru’s culinary capital without leaving home.
