Peruvian food has been climbing the culinary ladder at full speed, praised by the untrained palate of the average traveler and by food experts alike. Local Peruvian chefs are quickly gaining international celebrity status, opening restaurants in major cities around the world. Peruâ€™s millenary staple ingredients, such as quinoa, maca, and purple potatoes, have finally reached beyond their countryâ€™s boundaries, and are seducing people of every background. Peruvian foodâ€™s popularity surged in 2013, named as the International Year of Quinoa by the UN, during which Peru was named the worldâ€™s leading culinary destination for the second year on a row.

Peruvian food, as it is known today, is a fusion of its Incan roots, mixed with Spanish, Arab, African, Chinese, Italian, Japanese, and French influences.
