Criollo cuisine holds a special place in Peruvian culinary heritage, representing a fusion of indigenous, Spanish, African, and Asian influences. It is a cherished expression of Peruvian identity and showcases the country’s rich cultural diversity. Criollo dishes are known for their bold and vibrant flavors, stemming from a harmonious blend of native ingredients like potatoes, corn, and aji peppers, along with Spanish spices and techniques. Criollo captures the essence of Peru’s history and showcases the skillful melding of flavors from different culinary traditions, making it an integral part of Peruvian gastronomy.
“Peruvian Independence Day is a time to celebrate our heritage and the incredible culinary legacy we have inherited. With ‘Experiencia Criolla,’ we aim to take our guests on a memorable gastronomic journey that highlights the unique flavours and traditions of Peruvian cuisine,” said Frank Ponce, Executive Chef of La Mar Doha.
