Lima the Cookbook by Luciana Bianchi and Virgilio Martínez distills Peru’s coastal capital into 224 pages of vivid, kitchen-tested recipes. The hardcover’s generous color photographs walk you through iconic ceviches, street snacks, and Andean-influenced mains that have made Lima a global culinary hotspot.

Written for adventurous young adults and seasoned cooks alike, each chapter layers cultural notes onto practical steps, turning every dish into a mini lesson in Peruvian history and ingredients. The result is a cookbook that doubles as a cultural studies reference and a healthy-eating guide.

This 2015 Octopus Publishing Group edition remains in very good shape: the illustrated boards show only light shelf rub, while the interior pages are crisp, unmarked, and free of creases. No inscriptions, ex-libris stamps, or dog-eared corners—just a tidy copy ready for your kitchen shelf.

At just over a kilo, the book feels substantial yet easy to prop open on the counter. Grab this collectible hardcover to explore Peruvian flavors or to gift an armchair journey to South America’s gastronomic capital.
