This is a spin off of a discussion in Rick Bayless's now-closed forum.

I first ate Peruvian food about 15 years ago at the Ethnic Food Festival, an annual event that supplies booths to the various ethnic groups to display, sell and educate others about their cuisine. Salvadoran a couple of years later. I had my first phillipino food there too.

Peruvian restaurants were here about 12 years ago, Salvadoran, about 10. We talked about the rise of Brazillian and Argentine foods.

But in that discussion, I mentioned I hadn't seen Chilean food. Now that can change. A chilean deli opened up.

Sounds fun. Parking will be awful though.

Some time ago we had a Peruvian-Chinese restaurant here in the Milwaukee area. That combination isn't as dissonant as it sounds! One of the owners was the child of Chinese immigrants to Peru. Both cuisines in the place were very good, as I recall. Too bad they're closed now. Their combo plates were awesome.

If I could duplicate Peruvian roast chicken, I'd be in heaven. The spicing is soooooooo good. :lips: There was an article on Peru in the July 2005 issue of Gourmet, but no chicken recipe. :(

An Argentine restaurant, Industria Argentina, just opened near me a couple of weeks ago. Here's a picture of it from a blog. And here's my write-up of my experience there.

Finally: one of the first cookbooks I worked on was Secrets of Colombian Cooking. The author has since become a good friend. But more to the point, the book has gotten terrific reviews from other Colombians, so she must have gotten it right! :D And most of the recipes call for ingredients that can be bought pretty easily, or ordered online.

About roasty chicken!

Hello!

Suzanne,.I ahve read you like the peruvian rosty chicken. Here you can find a restaurant of it in every block. I know it has a lot of pepper as you can see. I ahd an uncle who put many chickens in a big bowl. You have to put salt and pepper ove rthem, a lot of pepper, some white beer too and a little of rosemary, too. (optional). Now, here you can can find even a oriental way to cook it , you have to add "chinese cinamon" or i think its called "7 or 6 spices", too and just a little of soja sauce. Anyway, i think I should get the recipe or get a course of that, its my country and i should know the recipe. Any question, I can help you. Check the book "the art of the peruvian food" of Tony Custer, can show you more of part of the peruvian food. My teacher told me we had more than 5000 recipes, true? hehe, maybe. The only bad thing is that many of them are disappearing. Nice to hear you like it, a hug
