I must admit, I was quite excited for this book. Having never experienced Peruvian food, I thought this book would be the perfect segway into trying new foods, as there are no Peruvian restaurants in Colorado or Minnesota.
First off, I'm very impressed with the careful planning that has gone into the layout of the book. Each recipe has a small description, so amateurs such as myself can get an idea of what they'll be making. There is also a picture every 2 or so pages, which I love. As a visual person, I like knowing what I'm making, and what it should look like. The author also has a biographical section, in which he describes passion for Peruvian food. The index in back of the book explains the various ingredients throughout the book, and was extremely helpful!
As a college student, I'm rather limited in what I'm able to purchase. However, there are some recipes that I'll be able to make. I'll keep you updated as I do.
Overall, if you have a bit of extra money available and want to try making a different variety of food, I do suggest this book.
I received this book from Blogging for Books for this review. However, all the opinions are entirely my own.
