Dia de la Cocina Peruana
Peru has one of the world's great cuisines, and the Dia de la Cocina Peruana is a celebration of the culinary tradition that spans over 5,000 years. The Peruvian cuisine is a fusion of indigenous, Spanish, African, Chinese, Japanese, and Italian influences, and it includes ceviche (raw fish marinated in lime juice), lomo saltado (stir-fried beef with onions, tomatoes, and French fries), aji de gallina (shredded chicken in a spicy walnut sauce), causa limea (mashed potato layered with tuna or chicken), and anticuchos (grilled beef heart skewers). The day is celebrated with cooking competitions, food festivals, and the reminder that the Peruvian cuisine is a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage.
