Lima the Cookbook gathers the vibrant flavors of Peru’s capital into one beautifully illustrated hardcover. Chefs Luciana Bianchi and Virgilio MartĂnez guide readers through 224 pages of authentic recipes, turning home kitchens into miniature picanterĂas.
Expect crisp ceviches, fragrant ajà sauces, and comforting causa layers, each photographed to inspire weeknight dinners and festive gatherings alike. Cultural notes woven between the dishes trace Lima’s coastal, Andean, and Amazonian influences, making the volume as much a culinary tour as a practical manual.
