Peruvian foods
Last night we got together with our neighbors for our second progressive dinner. My wife was in charge of the entree and it was an excellent curlinary experience. She made a great Peruvian polio dish along with Papa a La Huancaina (Peruvian typical dish) potatoes with cheese.
(Receipt: In a blender put all the following ingredients: Sauce should be lightly thick to be spread over the potatoes.)

Peruvian cuisine is considered one of the most diverse in the world. In January 2004, The Economist said that "Peru can lay claim to one of the world's dozen or so great cuisines", while at the Fourth International Summit of Gastronomy Madrid Fusión 2006, regarded as the world's most important gastronomic forum, held in Spain between January 17 and 19, Lima was declared the "Gastronomic Capital of the Americas"
I recommend an excellent cookbook. Exotic Kitchens of Peru: The Land of the Inca by Copeland Marks.
